[QUOTE="Mayapple5, post: 223070, member: 6223"] You are off the roller coaster ride now. Enjoy the smooth, straight road for a while. give yourself permission to sit back and take a deep breath of fresh air and play awhile. You have gone through something only the parents here can truely understand and you have our support. We have to give ourselves permission to go on and have as "normal" a life as possible ans still be there for them when they are ready to accept their part in society, their place in the family, their responsibilty for their own actions and pay the penalties. Once they know we will still love them and turn our backs on them but won't support their actions they [B]will[/B] grow up. been there done that. I've had to say NO more than once and that was when my 36 yr old had two daughters that she couldn't take care of and they were going into the system, I had to tell her I wouldn't take them. Oh, that was so very difficult! The system then placed them with me. My daughter was more than scared, for sure! Perhaps your difficult child will mature and grow up, and start taking responsibility now that she has to pay the price for her actions, once she is caught, I mean. It is a good thing that you are going to wait for her to get caught on her own, the authorities may already know where she is and are just waiting for a just cause to arrest her (as if they don't already). Then you aren't involved and she can't point a finger at you and blame you. Hang in there, you are stronger than you think, focus on your son and the reason for this holiday and remember to take time for yourself. [/QUOTE]
