[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 354013, member: 1514"] Honey....Im not saying drop him off right now. From what you say in all these posts, your son is a very troubled young man. It sounds like he has been for a very long time. For a small boy to punch his grandmother is a very bad sign. That must have hurt your heart very much. As a grandmother I would be devastated if one of my grandchildren punched me like that but I would surely support the parent in getting them help. I cant imagine your son feels very good about himself. I will tell you that he may do some changing between now and his mid twenties. My sons was downright awful to have around, even stole money from me when he was 20 and I charged him with 3 felonies. Now he is living on his own and we have a pretty good relationship. LOL...I had to check my signature to see how old he was...he will be 24 in July. Gosh my kids are getting old! I swear I never thought he would live this long. He has been in jail several times and is now on probation. He may well end up there again. His choices. I give every day that he is not in jail and doing well an A+ in my book. Now that certainly wasnt what I envisioned when they put him in my arms all those years ago. I thought of college and marriage and maybe even a great job doing wonderful things. Instead I got mental illness and jails and probation officers and the cutest little granddaughter ever put on this earth. I want to invite you over to the Parent Emeritus Forum. It is for parents of kids who are older and we are learning about detaching from them. You will hear many stories and get lots of advice from some fantastic warrior moms.
