[QUOTE="slsh, post: 91792, member: 8"] Oh Star, I have to admire your restraint 'cuz I'd have limped fiercely down there and seriously gone ballistic on the whole doggone town. I'm beginning to possibly recognize an attitude shift for our almost adult difficult children when it comes to placements and professionals involved... seems more and more to be a holding tank before the real (adult) fun starts. And it sure does feel like a catch-22 because these men/children need more than ever to be held accountable and to see others taking responsibility for choices - it's the last long lap before they're off on their own - but at the same time we cannot possibly hold them accountable while they're living at home because they'll force our early demise one way or another. Our boys are off doing whatever they're doing without supervision... sheesh, after all these years, I was really expecting a stronger finish, you know? I am deeply relieved to hear your boy has feline reflexes, bless his heart. Hope he heals well. Get 'em, Mom. by the way, I personally think the deal with- education and treatment of difficult children is they throw the new teachers (and therapists and psychiatrists) in with- the kids. Those who don't run screaming into the night are keepers. Our kids weed out the wimps. [/QUOTE]
