[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 368432"] What keeps me going is a couple of things.... one what others have said about what would have happened to my son if he had ended up in a different family, different situation??? He is probably doing much better than he could have been. I keep hearing that the frontal lobe of the brain does not fully develop until they are 25 or so... since he is 18 he has a few years to go yet... so my hope is that over time he will develop more impulse control etc. before anything catastrophic happens. And I have met several adults who tell me what awful teens they were, had horrible relationships with their parents, and over time they came back and got close to mom and dad again. So it is not over till its over. But I am still heartbroken in the here and now and it is especially hard hearing all about other kids college plans etc.... and like others have said, I just keep trying to live and enjoy my own life.
