[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 116562, member: 77"] You know, Abbey, it truly sounds as if maybe this time, he has finally internalized the fact that if he lives according to the rules, life will be much better for him. And maybe, just the fact that he got such a lucky break having his sentence shortened like that, maybe that's what it has taken to make him see the light. And then again, maybe it's just something inside our children that makes them hit rock bottom before they can start coming back up. I have this idea deep inside me, I've always had it, with my older difficult child (today 38, and no longer difficult child, about to get married) and with present difficult child (ugh!), that it is a matter of finding the right button to press, something has to switch on the right way, and then they will see the light and finally finally start behaving in tune with society, instead of going against it with their heads against the wall. And it sounds to me as if maybe this time J has finally had that button pressed. I truly truly hope so, for him, and for you and all your family. You certainly deserve a break after all you have been through with him. It is so good to hear you voicing positive feelings. Hugs, Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
