[QUOTE="Star*, post: 71867, member: 4964"] Hi, I don't have a son that has abused drugs, I have a son that mentally abused me. However he is 17 and we recently made a stand after he went to jail for 3 robberies. This was not easy because he is my only son. And I had huge guilt over the life that his bio father left us with. When he got out of jail, he had to come and stay with us. It was either that or face contempt of court. I asked that he go back to Department of Juvenile Justice until a placement was found. Nothing doing. So he came home. It was three weeks of absolute chaos and insanity. Finally DF called the social worker and pleaded with him to hurry up and gave a sampling of what was happening in one hour. THe social worker really didn't belive it, we said we taped some of it on a camera. If he cared to see it, we'd share. We were not lying. He moved out for good on Wednesday to a group home oddly enough in the middle of nowhere. (it's odd because we live in a rural community and there was "NEVER ANYTHING TO DO OUT IN THE BOONIES" according to difficult child. My hope and prayer is this. difficult child is narcasistic and has sociopathic tendencies. I hope that by saying YOU CAN NOT COME BACK HERE, that difficult child will say "Oh yeah?" "I'll show you" and in the process grow up, and show up at our home with an education, a car, and all the things that he SHOULD have at this point in time. What I'm sure he won't realize is he did "it" out of spite and in the process grew up. Then it becomes habit - a good one. IF anyone has success with this type of parenting I'd be interested to read about it. Thanks Janet for this post. I needed it very much. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
