[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 678742, member: 3419"] After hearing about Angela's death, I am not only deeply saddened, but strangely thankful that she posted of her journey here, because it clarified some of the things that I had done with my son. No two cases are alike, but she did, in her own way, teach me to be more vocal about my son's issues, particularly with the police and teachers. It makes a difference. Also, my son never went to juvie. We went through the court process and probation, and it helped immensely at the time. Now, however, he seems to think he is invincible and invisible. Meanwhile, he signed himself out of HS and is supposedly finishing up his GED at a local community college. There is a partnership there that is paid for by tax dollars and donations. I'm sure that his girlfriend, H, helped him get this far. He is still living in the bad neighborhood. I have seen him 4X since he was kicked out. The last time, I got him a haircut in his own neighborhood. And I bought bus passes. Of course, he and his roommate asked for money to pay rent and I said no. I am in touch with his ex girlfriend and the baby and we have them over for dinner ever couple of wks. They are losing touch, partly due to lack of transportation, and partly due to the wishes of H, the girlfriend. [/QUOTE]
