[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 9269, member: 2389"] Janet~you are so right! Throughout our whole struggle with difficult child he seems to have learned that whatever he does he can charm his way out of it. When his problems first started in jr high, he was given detention, all the other kids were in the detention room doing homework. My son was in the gym playing basketball with the principal!?! I have voiced my concern for him always getting off the hook to every authority person he dealt with. I always got the same response- He's such a great kid, he has so much potential we are going to give him one more chance. We also know ALL the police officers,sherriff deputies,PO officers by first name. And not just our little town but all the surrounding towns as well. Every place he has been sent to,jail,Residential Treatment Center (RTC),grouphome. I have always been questioned as if I was the problem and I was over reacting to what he was doing. I was always told my son doesn't belong in here. And it always depended on the amount of freedom he had if he would show his true colors are not. Really the group home that he escaped from is the only place that saw his true colors. I still believe all the others felt sorry him because he was such a great kid and he just got stuck with an overbearing mom. I think when he was on the run and ran from the sherriff deputies on foot and then robbed his exgf family, maybe the others took notice of what he was capable of. Sorry to ramble on, guess I needed to vent my frustration with the whole thing. Barbara~ I do think he knows exactly what buttons to push on all of us, just as he walks out the door. We are left with the frustrations and hurt feelings, and he could care less` he is gone on his merry little way. [/QUOTE]
