[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 614241, member: 1721"] Welcome :O) You are doing the right thing, Michelle. And it isn't writ in stone. Your son may come to his senses quickly, now that you have acted. Scott G wrote a response on the detachment thread about taking back our power. About how right and how necessary it is to do that ~ both for our own sakes, and for the sake of the troubled child. husband and I were talking last night about how to survive these times without experiencing that second-guessing, that anxiety, those sleepless nights. I think it has to do with envisioning ourselves responding clearly and calmly, and with really understanding that we are acting correctly. husband and I also get it that when a child is acting up, whatever solution we choose is not going to feel right. Like husband and I, you probably never envisioned that your child's adolescence and young adulthood would unfold as they have. We are flying blind, trying the best we know to put things right again...but there are some kids who just don't respond well. We cannot blame or fault ourselves for the child's response. After the child passes a certain age, we no longer have control over how they think, what they do, how they respond. All we can do is the best we know, Michelle. I think you are doing that. I am glad you posted. It helps so much not to be alone with it. Cedar [/QUOTE]
