[QUOTE="JKF, post: 562612, member: 12470"] The Pastor from the shelter called me this morning to let me know that difficult child had done "exceptionally well" there last night and got along great with the other guys. It doesn't surprise me because difficult child is definitely gifted at making friends - it's keeping them that's the problem. Anyway, the Pastor said that difficult child wanted his CMO worker's number so hopefully he'll call him and they can figure out what to do. They also got some clothing donations in this morning so he said difficult child was going through the bins to find himself some warm clothes. That made me feel a bit better. I'm going to try to take a step back now. It's hard when it's in the heat of the moment and difficult child calls panicking. I always, always, ALWAYS picture worst case scenario and get myself all worked up. Yet here we are today and difficult child survived the night being homeless. I know he's a smart kid. He's resourceful so that works in his favor. He also has an amazing ability to make people feel sorry for him. I 'think' he'll be ok and who knows, maybe this will help him start making some positive decisions for himself. So yeah, my goal today is that I'm going to try to stay calm and try to keep myself out of the middle of this mess. I'm also making an appointment with a psychiatrist. It's really time for me to take back some control over my life and help myself and my husband and other son have a good life in the midst of difficult child's constant chaos. [/QUOTE]
