[QUOTE="sail24, post: 730133, member: 5751"] It's so very lonely. I've stopped taking calls from friends and family because they all want to know what I'm going to do. I don't have any answers and talking to them doesn't help me at all. I so appreciate their love for me, I just don't have any energy to give to them. I'm unable to comfort them when I know they just want desperately to help us. Unfortunately our children sound so similar. My son has caused many fights at every school he's been to. Started in the public school, then private then an alternative boarding school. Our therapist (and of course us) hoped that removing him from our home and giving him a new environment could help him have start fresh. It was a great school that fit him perfectly or so we thought. In the end, he had too much free time to make very bad choices. I'm sorry your other children have to witness the chaos he creates. I have two sons. My older one left for college last year. I cried when we left him far from home like most parents do. My reason wasn't because I was sad to leave him, I cried because I was so jealous and so happy for him. He was finally free of his younger brother. I've had terrible guilt knowing how much of my older son's childhood was stolen, changed, taken away by all the madness his brother has caused over his lifetime. This isn't childhood angst. This has been who my son is from the moment we adopted him at 18 hours old. [/QUOTE]
