[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 434419, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) You are NOT mean or awful. NOT NOT NOT. in my opinion our difficult children NEED to hear that message. That they play a substantial role in the problems in their lives. The world will NOT make it easy on him if he doesn't learn that reality is what it is and we ALL have to take responsiblity for our actions. Now some things he cannot control, but if given the message that if he can learn to control things he will have better choices often and early enough, with the tools to actually learn to handle himself and school/job etc...., the better his future will be. What you told him was the rock bottom truth. While it isn't fun to face, it is the truth.And if he can keep it together at this place maybe later in the summer another option could be worked out, like finding a college kid to watch him and take him places. That would be a good lesson - you CAN get better situations but you must work for them is the lesson all kids need to learn. And lots of adults too. [/QUOTE]
