[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 672086, member: 3419"] Thank you, Childofmine and other supportive parents. Sigh. After much thought, I will no longer be posting here. It has been years and years and years ... and ... since so many people here have given so many conflicting viewpoints, and made judgmental statements when this is supposed to be a support board, it is no longer worth my time or heartstrings to come here. I have given this a lot of thought. Usually, when this happens, I just disappear for a few weeks. But why should I have to do that? I will establish relationships with a few of you outside of here when I feel up to it. I have no energy to support anyone else at this point. I am sorry for that. There are a lot of hurting people out there. Also, I noticed that there are hundreds of hits on some of my posts, but comparatively few posts. I feel like this is a voyeuristic adventure and I do not need people reading just to find out what happens this week. Yes, anyone who writes on this board is prone to that, and it is to be expected. But over the years, it has worn me down, along with everything else. I am changing my expectations and my own actions. In the meantime, I have called the police on several occasions and I cannot make them move any faster than they are. I will not turn a pot-head special needs kid onto the street yet--so far, even the police won't arrest him, and [I]they[/I] tell me to call his doctor. I have purchased locks for all my doors. I have consulted with an attorney. I have met numerous times with school admin. I have researched and set in place plans for rehab facilities, Youth Challenge facilities in other states, and applications for local intensive drug counseling, for when the time comes. I am hoping and assuming it will be court-ordered. Now, I wait for the pieces to fall where they may. I actually do have a life. I paint, write, garden, all of that. I'm not religious, so I won't say "bless you all." But those are my sentiments. [/QUOTE]
