[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 551097, member: 11001"] Hello and welcome. I am late to this post but wanted to let you know you are not alone. We have a 17 year old daughter who will be 18 in a few weeks. She has been difficult since age 13. She suffers with Borderline (BPD) and PTSD from past abuse not inflicted by us. We were good parents. She has had counseling,two Residential Treatment Center (RTC) Placements and many other interventions. I have found comfort here and at Families Anon. I tried several groups before I felt comfortable. My hysband and I also see a counselor for periodic support. Raising thses kids is tough. Sending them off when they are a mess is tough too. Guilt and blame are very typical reactions we have to our difficult children. They dont help! I have to work very hard to keep them at bay. Our daughter is on probation at present. She is and will be under the juvenile system. Her crimes are always against us...her family. I dont know about the adult system. What I do know is that I will not pay for her restitution or enable her to get out of any consequences. This is her last chance to pull it together. The JJS judge is firm and means business. She will go to secure care if she doesnt meet the conditions of her probation. Stick to you guns and dont bail your son out. This is a good decision though hard. Itwould be good if he told the judge about his drug problem. There might be help in the form of rehab if he did. hang in there and keep posting. [/QUOTE]
