[QUOTE="klmno, post: 160894, member: 3699"] Thanks, Janet! I do worry about how things will be when and if difficult child is out of legal trouble- will he be pushing the limits with me more, etc. Will he give in to those thoughts? A week ago, it was thoughts about hurting himself, this weekend it was about me. The only thing keeping me going is that I have an appointment with a new therapist today who knew all the right things to say and sounds sooooo much more experienced than any other we have talked to. It is good that you can detach from Cory to a certain extent, at least. I'm not sure where the appropriate "line" is for detachment of a 13 yo. I try to keep it at the area where the punishment is a result of him breaking the law- and remind him and myself that I was not the one who broke the law. At the same time, I am the one legally responsible no matter what- PO and GAL remind me of that. [/QUOTE]
