[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 473868, member: 97"] I have posted over 10,000 times, lol I am guessing... about my son... on this forum alone. Actually most of us were on for a long time and then we had a computer crash and now many of the old timers have the same "join date" of June 2003. I then went to a prison forum when he went to prison, I was so discouraged and needed to be around those before me on the path. I have posted over 6,000 times on there as well. I do check back here it seems about every 3 months and read a bit. My son has not been arrested since 2007, and is not on probation for the first time since 9th grade, so it is a time of peace and relief. I am grateful. My first post here was when my son was 16 and had been in trouble since he was about 5years old. Naw, make it since birth, he was a handful even as a baby. I found it very comforting to be among others who could understand having a kid like mine. I would not call him a easy child, (is anyone perfect??) but he sure is different now. He still gets impulsive thoughts but does think before acting. He still gets frustrated but never runs away anymore. He cares so much about family now. Before, he cared nothing about anyone but himself. You can get out of your son's cycles just by detaching with love. He might still go down the tub drain, but you won't be sucked in along. We all have choices on what we will accept and what we will not. For a long time, my tolerance level was way too high. He and I both know my limits now. I will never forget my brother telling me that the chaos would end when I chose for it to end. I told my son he could live however he wanted but I could too and I choose peace. [/QUOTE]
