Hi all, scanning the subject headings here, I see I'm still in good company. I was on this board for many years, until we kicked out our son (drugs, knife, gun). He got a job and his friends helped him out. Now he is married with two toddlers, one on the way (1st wk of Feb) and a 6-yr-old from a...

I have not been here for years, but just wanted to share this. Others here may want to submit to this publication. It is non-paying, but it helps others to see that they are not alone. Scroll down to the poem...

Hi, I have not been here for 2-1/2 years. Both of my kids are married and living in apartments. My son married a beautiful, intelligent, hard-working woman with a foul temper. She is a name-caller and the two of them have met their matches. I occasionally wished that my son would get stuck with...

We kicked him out the day after Thanksgiving. He was constantly high, stealing from us, and obnoxious. He stole cash from the purse of one of our Thanksgiving guests. How embarrassing. Just got a call from him. He is at school, in the guidance counselor's office, filling out paperwork to get his...

Anyone in? Anyone doing the list? I don't want to miss out. :)

but at least this time, he stayed in the bldg and went to the rest of his classes. (Last time, he walked out.) The phone was returned at the end of the day. Why did it take them 4 yrs to do this? (I have no idea whose phone it is. He said it is not H's. And all he does is play games on it.)...

oh, it's Tuesday. Does it matter? Took all 3 dogs for a walk at 7.45 a.m. Drizzly and gloomy. Braveheart, the Scottish Terrier, pooped and I picked it up in a baggy. Ewwww. Worms. Of the white rice/flea egg type. :( I will pick up medications at the vet today. He's on Vectra but apparently not enough...

This will probably be an actual arrest, at school. Not sure. I'm on hold. Difficult Child took our credit card yesterday and charged $11.42 at a local convenience store. Not worth making a report? Getting him arrested for some iced tea and chips? Well, according to our lawyer, we can go through the motions...

His dietary/science teacher told me that Difficult Child made up one test today. But he did not do the rest of the work she gave him. She also said that she moved him to the front of the room to a separate desk because 1) he wouldn't stop talking, and 2) the girl next to him said he smelled. The teacher said...

Bad news/Good news. He's been skipping school and I was worried that he was smoking pot. But his demeanor has been decent ... he had dinner with us last night, and brought his govn't book to the table as I asked, to go over it with us. So I tracked him down this a.m. (which included getting up...

I've never heard of this. It was an instant success. So cool! Too bad she had to wait a wk with-mis-dxes and then go to the ER in the middle of the night to get it. (We're not in Portland. I just liked this explanation.) http://www.portlandpaincare.com/patient-information/epidural-blood-patch

difficult child came by the house a cpl times today, and both times, left before he got out of his friends' cars. (Two or three diff friends at diff times.) He finally called tonight from T's phone (the other gma). He was at their house. Apparently he stayed there last night but I'm not sure. He is still...

His pothead friends came over again today. Then they all disappeared. I found 24 neatly stacked cigarette wrappers on the porch table, and lots of butts and ashes. Then I spotted his backpack ... so I went through it. Found a bunch of weed in his eyeglasses case. I can't handle this any more...

The ONE time he takes the initiative to do something, and it's something that I don't want and should not be done. And he has been TOLD. He rode his bike to the hospital, visited D and S, and signed the birth certificate. ^*(##%%@@*!^%$*!!!! So I'm still doing a DNA test, just to see ... I...

In regard to this baby and untenable situation ... I keep waking up really shaky and headachey and out of sorts. I need to exercise more. But I am still keeping my dr and dental appts, a few of my chiro appts, painting, writing, doing dishes, etc. trying to keep a routine. I have a few friends...

I attended her appointment today. The other day I asked her, "Why is the dr thinking about inducing labor?" "I dont' know." "Why are you having so many ultrasounds and non-stress tests?" "I dont' know." Arrrrgh. Apparently her mom didn't ask any questions either. I couldn't stand it so I asked...

(I was going to type The Ups and Downs but Headlights beat me to it! :) ) This is the email I sent to Difficult Child today: Do you have three A's going--sports, biology/genetics and English--or am I seeing things online? I may have to buy you a steak. Love, Mom

So, I've been pretty detached about my son's bio-gma sending me an outrageous text last week. But I still have it on my phone. She says that Jesus can heal everything and psychiatrists and medication are the work of the devil. All we have to do is pray and it will all be better. Hey, gma, if Difficult Child...

Difficult Child skipped out on his urine test Thur, Fri, Mon and Tue (today). Clearly, he's been using pot. The psychiatric said we could put him back on Lexapro, regardless. That is, if we can ever get a hold of him. He's been an arrogant snot, smoking in his girlfriend, H's car (she doesn't mind). I text both of them...

He was supposed to meet while I was out of town. Yeah, right. I set up the mtng and drove him this afternoon. They met at a Starbucks and talked for nearly 2 hrs. He wanted to know if his bmom, R, and bdad loved one another, how they decided to place him for adoption, all that. Of course, when I...
