[QUOTE="New Life, post: 765024, member: 33213"] ANewLife4Me I appreciate what you said. My son is young at 18 but I’ve been at it with him since probably 7th grade. It started getting really bad during the lockdown and worse when he started high school from home that fall. By sophomore year he was kicked out of the alternative school and sent to JJAEP and eventually arrested as a juvenile. So many phone calls to the police and trips to the ER and psychiatric evaluations. Such crazy irrational behavior and manipulation and verbal abuse. Juvenile probation and a few months in a treatment center and now adult probation and probation violations. Time off work for court dates from truancy to breaking in a liquor store to wrecking a car without a license. I’d say I’m about six years in with him and longer if you count the older middle son who I had a tough time with too. Way too many tears and sleepless nights. All this along with Al-Anon and now this board I believe I’ll be able to put up firm boundaries and step out of it now that he is an “adult”. I hope and pray for the strength. Thank you for your perspective. [/QUOTE]
