[QUOTE="dawnmyst, post: 219405, member: 6401"] Thank-you so much to all of you who replied. I was so humbled and grateful that you took the time to show your support. I can tell that this is a wonderful place for those of us who are dealing with difficult children. I called a neurophysch and he basically told me he usually just deals with those who have brain trauma and that it would be best if my son goes to the therapist for a few sessions and then see if he should go to a psychologist for an evaluation. MY difficult child is going through drug testing when he goes to the probation officer on Mondays. I am very suspicious though. difficult child doesn't have a MY Space account but uses Face Book which has a password. I know that he has been in contact with my older son at college so I may ask my older son if he has seen anything unusual or suspicious about difficult child. I am relaxing a bit tonight since difficult child is at his Dad's for the weekend but a couple of weeks ago the police knocked on my door around this time on a Friday night to ask me questions on a incident that happened in the village. My difficult child has been flagged by the local police so it doesn't take much for them to be suspicious. I live in a very small village and I can't wait to move after I get through these years. I always wanted to live in this town and dreamed about it since I was 18 yrs. old. I bought this tiny cottage a few years after my marriage ended. Now I just want to get out of here and start fresh somewhere else where no one knows me. I work on the other side of the river and I may move there someday. I often will look on realtor.com as an escape, but I digress.. I went to the book store today and couldn't find "The Explosive Child" but I found a book called "Yes, Your Teen is Crazy! How to love your kid without losing your mind. It covers drug use, mental illnesses, trouble with the law, etc. and was written by Michael Bradley a PHD in psychology. It seems quite thorough and has a bit of humor which I need right now. I feel for all of you and your individual stories and I hope that I can offer some support someday when I can get a handle on this. I just feel so helpless and down and cry daily. Dawnmyst [/QUOTE]
