[QUOTE="Hopeful parent, post: 709849, member: 21585"] Thank you again everybody. And thank you for the article on detachment. I think when I get near my printer I will print it out. We went to court today and my sons girlfriend pleaded guilty. She was already in jail so she was escorted in. She received 18 months probation, and is not allowed near our home or contact us for 18 months. My son did not come as she had sent her family a message that she would not be attending, and they passed the message on to him. They don't want anything to do with my son either. After all the fuss and threats yesterday I have not heard from my son at all. I think she didn't want her family to see her, and I am pleased her mother did not as it was very sad. She looked broken. It was hard for me, my husband and my daughter to see her like that. Now the court case is over I am going to work hard at learning to detach from my son. After today seeing his girlfriend like that it makes me feel less sympathetic to my sons problems. I feel that he has let her down as well. My daughter told me today that I can't afford to start worrying about her now. And she is right. I need to stop as it is going to make me sick. So as I said before I am going to see a psychologist who specialises in these types of problems at the end of the month. And I have brought some books that may help me as well. Dayatatimes posting Is very relevant to me. I am a people pleaser and need to stop being one, and that my sons anger won't last for ever. Good advice.thanks again everyone who posted. [/QUOTE]
