[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 752346, member: 23405"] Welcome Lost 17. I feel like you are sliding down a slippery slope. It is so easy to want to stick our heads in the sand and not really know what's going on but I feel you will have more troubles going forward if you don't get to the bottom of some things. From experience it is only going to get worst. If at all possible start to set some boundaries and stick to them. I agree with others that I'm not buying the story of the accident and I'm hoping that there aren't other issues like alcohol involved. I think for parents it's the most difficult thing to let out children experience the consequences of their own actions. We never did..well, we did call police (so many times I can't count) but then we were the ones bailing him out and going to court, paying fines, bringing son to anger management classes we had to pay for and he didn't want to go to and then trying to have it all annulled after so they had a clean record and a fresh start. Talk about messed up. It is probably more difficult for the parent initially to set boundaries and allow consequences to their actions than it is to our children to endure them. But if you don't do this you are just putting off having to do it at a later time when likely everything is on a larger scale. [/QUOTE]
