[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 415943, member: 6370"] Jena, you deserve a break. She will be an "adult" soon. Our entire family went through this torture with difficult child 2. He lived in Lalaland, aided and abetted by people who thought we were too hard on him because we wanted him to get an education. The lax laws concerning teen rights in our state were very destructive as well. Now he has to fend for himself. He knows we love him but he has made his own choices. He's getting married this Summer. They are both struggling to make some decent money and will have some hefty loans to pay back. Life would have been so much easier if he had accepted his opportunities. Too bad, so sad! Ain't it grand to make your life altering decisions when your brain is still immature? I haven't seen his enablers offer to help pay his way through college, and that includes the state of Maine which kept us from protecting him from self destruction "because he has rights". I know I sound like a witch, but he tortured our immediate as well as our extended family. He is reaping what he sowed. I don't think his life will be a bed of roses. [/QUOTE]
