[QUOTE="Star*, post: 107872, member: 4964"] I have no advice or sage wisdom - just wanted to say welcome and don't let the letters DIPLOMA vs GED get you down. (I'm trying not to as we speak) I think once I lowered my expectations of what I hoped for difficult child vs. what I felt he could do if he applied himself, I was mentally better off. My son 17, currently living in group home, on 3 yr. proabtion with- comm. service, restitution, and skimming the edges of right and wrong. He was a straight A student with 1 carnegy unit going into 11th grade. The school system said "Naaaah not those behaviors this year: and suggested alternative school. This past summer he got arrested, jailed and now is as you see above. It is also a condition of his probation that he get a job - he's had one and quit. I'm not bailing him out - if he fails this time he is looking at 6 years in adult jail and won't get out till he is 23. You hope somewhere along the line SOME lesson sticks - but I'm not holding my breath any more. You've found a great place to land - hugs Star [/QUOTE]
