[QUOTE="klmno, post: 171745, member: 3699"] difficult child is holding up better than I expected. There are some things I worry about- he has trouble holding back tears when I visit, but at the same time, he just wants to repeat these "really impessive" stories that he has heard in there from the older boys. You know, the ones about drugs, weapons, driving when you are too young to even get a license, things like that. I don't know who ever came up with the idea that putting a kid with worse behaved kids would teach them a lesson, but I can't imagine that it was a parent. I'm worried about your difficult child, too. I wish I knew a way into his thoughts- so he could open up to you more and not isolate himself. That is frightening. Does he go back to school at the end of the summer, or is he out? It sounds like he really needs [I]someone[/I] - maybe a male- to just talk to. Well, I have to admit- I did not know that you were already into writing. But, I am glad you are. I just happened to read one particular post of yours that made me think you would be good at it, and maybe it would be something you could get into and enjoy. I am glad that you have already started!! I guess the urge to continue will come and go, but I hope you don't give up on it. I really do think you have a special ability with it. And, shoot, if you are writing about things that help difficult child's and their families- then, you know you can't be going down the wrong path! That is really to be admired. You know how many of us here need more advocacy- and I'm sure there are tons of others that haven't even found this board yet. Way To Go, Steely!! I learned a lot about you tonight! [/QUOTE]
