[QUOTE="change, post: 143012, member: 4808"] Oh Christy...My heart goes out to you sooooo much. I almost cried reading your post. Your story with your son sounds like mine with our son except that I couldn't afford to homeschool. I considered it and even considered hiring someone else to do it but his behavior was so extreme I couldn't get anyone to agree to it. My mom and the my mother-in-law stepped in and were a tremendous help and so were the grandpas and school personeel also ended up helping a lot because both my husband and are teachers. We had a lot of people not believe us though along the way too though because he is very manipulative. Right now he is in a group home. We still have custody of him but he is also in temporary custody of a state agency because he was arrested and for the safety of our daughter. Marg, I didn't take your comments as criticism at all. I deserve it anyway. I know I'mnot being the best mother that I should be because I am so tramautized by everything myself that's happened since the big incident between my children. I still can't believe it. I'm simply not equipped to handle it. I don't see how anyone could be. I am a woman of great faith though and all I can do is hold on to my belief that God doesn't give people things they can't get through. I am a teacher.
