[QUOTE="DDD, post: 49190, member: 35"] I completely understand. Geez, I wish I didn't! When I first joined this CD family over six years ago my grandson was obviously more easy child than difficult child. In deference to my age, I assume, I was allowed to identify him as easy child/difficult child. Just like your son he was in the gifted program, was 2nd in countywide golf competition, starting five in basketball and played in the World Series for baseball. He laughed and joked and hugged and obeyed and was the most delightful, polite boy in town. He has been in three juvie s.a. programs, he has been in "big boy jail" twice. He is an alcoholic. He has had (and may still have) a pot problem. He has done pills. He hangs out with people who he knows not to bring to our home. He still is loving and funny. The answer has to come from inside the difficult child. If they are not ready and eager for a program, chances are you are flushing your dollars. In a zillion years we never ever ever thought he would have a criminal record (for drug possession) of any kind. Duke University had him take the SAT at 13 for early admission, geez! I understand. I send you hugs. I'm sorry for your pain and your frustration. DDD [/QUOTE]
