[QUOTE="klmno, post: 351602, member: 3699"] Thanks, all- sorry for spreading all this difficult child drama. The police had to come back after I called and told them difficult child was home in order to verify it. I wanted to call them ASAP so difficult child wouldn't get put directly in detention. I think [I]maybe[/I] the police have contact directly with PO because it took them a while to get here and the stern talking he gave to difficult child was right in line with the issues PO and I have been discussing- I'm not sure- I guess it could have been coincidence. Anyway, difficult child just got into the shower because he's filthy but I think the night will go ok - he took night clothes to put on after his shower so that's a good sign. He's very hyper but says he had caffeine pills and energy drinks today and says he has messed up so bad he's convinced he'll be locked up again. I tried to tell him (and so did the cop) that he better get things straight now- the things he's wanting to do are normal but he can't run out and do them all right now. We'll see. Oh- he did say that he noticed his friends cared about him possibly getting arrested again but he didn't think they were such good friends because they kept going right along with everything. And he said his mind was really messed up last night because half was wondering why I wasn't looking for him and what it really meant if I didn't care more for him than that (trust me, I do but he needed to do his own thinking) and half his mind was thinking how great it was to be free but that he should come home. He said he likes having a house and bed and food and someone who cares. Again, we'll see. As PO said, there is a MAJOR transition when they come out of incarceration (long term) as juveniles and I can see that this is truer than I'd ever thought.
