[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 466691, member: 6705"] I agree... Don't let her have false hope. And... Don't go, if you don't feel like it. YOU take care of YOU. Don't look into halfway houses - that is HER job. And, yes, our difficult children would make great lawyers. Of course, the argument "because I want to" or "because because because" doesn't go far. I remember a discussion with Onyxx where she explained that since bio taught her that violence was the answer, that was that, and my upbringing was WRONG. I should be willing to hurt/maim/kill anyone who did not do what I wanted them to. I explained that that was [I]against the law[/I], but her argument was then that it did not matter, that was the way that she was brought up. I shook my head and walked away. I can see her trying to convince a jury that aggravated assault was OK because that's what she was taught... As for stories... That's what you get here, too, sometimes longer, sometimes anecdotes like the one I just typed. And sometimes, something you hear (read) in another's story might make you think, "Hmm, I wonder if..." and you go from there. :hugs: [/QUOTE]
