[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 598832, member: 13561"] Also difficult child said that he would go to the shelter and I told him there were a few missions there. He said "I'm NOT doing another mission. It was too intense and I'm done with missions". I said there might be something similar that didn't have such an emphasis on religion, but prepared people to integrate into society, with help to get jobs, education, etc. Surely his rejection of this level of help, if he chooses the streets instead, THAT'S a choice as well, right? He shouldn't see himself as a victim? It just seems to me that he's almost making a decision to play the martyr. Won't go the regular path, but is almost taking the "easy" way out, by going with what he knows, even though it'll lead to some dangerous places. Sorry, still in that mode. Does the worry ever really go away? Probably not. I just have to learn to live with it, as so many of you courageous parents have done! [/QUOTE]
