[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 524861, member: 1514"] I knew when I wrote this I was going to ruffle a few feathers and I didnt want to do that. However, just because a difficult child isnt doing drugs does not mean that they are in any way less of a dangerous situation. I had people threatening Cory's life several times from the time he was a young teen all the way up till really...he is still in a dangerous part of town. There are home invasions in the neighborhood he lives in now. When he was in 8th grade and was breaking into peoples houses not so much to steal stuff but to watch their TV's and eat food so we didnt catch him at home, we had several people threaten to shoot him if they caught him in their homes again. Shoot first and ask questions later. That was comforting especially when we begged them to just call the law on him. We had one man show up at our door with a loaded semi automatic pistol trying to beat down my front door and it was all I could do to keep him from pushing past me to get in my house because he was absolutely convinced Cory had broken into his shed and stole some of his tools two or three weeks before he came over. Couldnt have been Cory. Cory only came home from a group home 2 days before. The man wouldnt listen though and he was shoving that gun up under Cory's chin and threatening to blow his head off until Tony went in and got his shotgun out and held it to his head. Meanwhile Im on the phone to 911. I fully expected Cory to die before he was 25. Many of his friends did. I think he has the death announcements of 8 or 9 of his close friends. So if you think its only parents of substance abusing kids who have to worry about death and what their kids are doing, its not true. Other difficult child's are in just as big a risk.
