[QUOTE="klmno, post: 519005, member: 3699"] Counselor is pushing the positive support and I'm talking to difficult child about the stuff he had done in the past being stupid stuff kids do but now he's a young man with a future who needs to put "the childish things" (childish behavior) behind him and move forward. He can spend the time between now and getting out of HS to focus on getting a good footing in the community (that's how Department of Juvenile Justice refers to ITRW) then move onward and upwards to college and adult life. This is hard for me to do only because I was so convinced last time that difficult child had learned his lesson and was ready to stay focused on a new life, only for him to fall within a short period of time. However, in fairness to difficult child, I was losing our home and selling things out of the house (furniture and such- not drugs or anything illegal) and difficult child basicly had no support system. He sees the light at the end of the tunnel re HS now, I have a new place and a job, we have a counselor, etc, so maybe he can make it. [/QUOTE]
