[QUOTE="Star*, post: 192619, member: 4964"] I guess I'm having a ME day - because while I know there are a lot of hurt parents here - and that letting go/backing off IS the best? I keep thinking - but..... He is my ONLY son I don't have other kids that are easy child or even difficult child that have minor charges - I have one kid that is difficult child with a capital F...and that's it..... When i back off? He's going to jail for 15 years.....15 he wont get a slap on the wrist - And I can't see his life being better in prison because it never is for anyone. Someone here said prison doesn't rehab - it keeps those in jail from the rest of us. There is never any leniency with us - historically never So I back off, he goes to jail for 15 years, and then what? Do I become a prison board mom? 15 years...and apparently even IF we survive THIS - he'll be 33 - and I'll be 59 when he gets out - and then it starts all over? At 60? Or do I just - forget I ever had a kid...Not fair. This is too much - :frowny: [/QUOTE]
