[QUOTE="Star*, post: 486089, member: 4964"] Just FYI - When my son.....got arrested and was going to be charged with 30 years in prison at age 15 -16? I had a literal stroke. Thought it was a heart attack, but nope....only a stroke. I ended up in the ER for the night and was released the same night with a script of Atavan and ADs. I couldn't go to the Department of Juvenile Justice to see my son, but DF went and when he came into the visitation room (with the vending machines) to see "us" and only saw DF? He said "Where is Mom?" DF sat him down and explained that his actions and his behaviors had taken it's toll on me and I had a stroke, was in the hospital and could not make it. Dude looked at DF and said in a casual tone "Is she alright?" and DF said "She is for now." and before there could be any more explaination......the next breath DUde said "Could I have some money for the snack machine - they dont feed us well back there." THAT told me a LOT about introspective thinking on the part of a difficult child.... AND as I say - LIFE goes on......whether it's yours or theirs. Don't take it personally. It's just who they are. You can't MAKE them feel things they don't. But you CAN allow them to let life KNOCK them with the lessons that you WISH they had....and maybe just maybe THEN.....it will mean something if they get the full force of a life hurricane. [/QUOTE]
