[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 604452, member: 16761"] Hi! I have a similar recent (last week) story. My son and husband got into a fight and I called the cops to get them both arrested. My original story is over in 'General Parenting', go over and check it out, I posted it yesterday. I need to move it and answer MidwestMom's questions, I keep trying to tell the long, drawn out story but it depresses me right now. I will work up to it. My son also has a K2 charge and a Marijuana charge, although he was currently off probation now that he is this Domestic Battery charge. I will say that my son has never had any consequences for his charges other than suspension, expulsion (no school, YAY!) and unsupervised probation that his father and I got to enforce. His only consequences have been meted out by his 'horrible' parents. I'm thinking since my son is 17 it will not be long before it is not just his father and I telling him how the world is, and that might be what it takes, if anything. I hate for it to be this way, but his 'innocence' is slipping completely away, it just feels different now. This is not what I wanted for my son, and if he cannot live in my home without drug abuse and violence at 18, I have another child to raise without it. Do you have other children? When I went to his juvie hearing the next morning, he comes in with his orange suit and his handcuffs and implores to me 'What can we do to make this go away? Is dad in bad trouble? I wanna come home, I'm so sorry.' And then once in the car it is 'Why did you do this to me? I've been on probation my entire teenage years and it's all your fault! I will hate dad to the day I die!'. They will say anything in handcuffs to get out of them. It's like day and night. I immediately wished I had told them I couldn't control him at home (which incidentally has been no picnic).... I know I have no advice, but you are not alone in this journey. My tears in the last week could fill buckets. Keep posting, and I will try to as well... [/QUOTE]
