[QUOTE="klmno, post: 351669, member: 3699"] I'm fine, thanks for asking. difficult child ate after his shower and we only talked for a few mins after that then he went to bed. I stayed up for a while to make sure he was staying inside and sleeping, then I went to bed and we both slept late this morning. His best friend is not at home this weekend so hopefully difficult child will stay in like he should. I have to say that I'm pleased he has not become aggressive with me or made any physical threats since coming home. He hit the wall once last week, enlarging a pre-existing hole and that wasn't good but there's been a lot of improvement made in anger management. When he first came home last night I didn't have my cigs in my pocket like I've been keeping them and he grabbed them, I looked at him and sighed, he said never mind and gave them back to me. Our talk last night focused on me not stopping him- because I can't at his age. He always wanted to be the age where he had control of his own life- well, he's there. (I understand he's not 18 yo yet, but he is the only one that can choose which direction to make his life go at this point.) It doesn't mean I don't care or that people don't want to help him if he's making good choices. He apparently is making a shift in the way he had been seeing things- like he's supposed to push boundaries and I'm supposed to stop him if I care about him. I can't stop him. I still care. [/QUOTE]
