[QUOTE="DDD, post: 512525, member: 35"] Just wanted to send an understanding hug your way. Some of our difficult children just seem to be compelled to push the limits and although I hope your son is different...I suggest you get emotionally prepared for an extended bumpy ride. Breaking curfew indicates that he wants to do his own thing, hopes that he does not get caught by PO, has an excuse or two ready...and likely is going to test the limits until he is back in protective custody. Sigh! When difficult child#1 went to his first s.a. residential treatment program I was shocked at family night. Almost all the girls and boys had parents who told stories of going to great lengths to prevent roaming after dark. Most of them had difficult children who went out the bedroom window after the parents were in bed. Some parents literally nailed the windows shut to prevent them from leaving. Sure hope you don't have to travel the long hard road but just in case I suggest you get a copy of the Serenity Prayer (famous from AA) and learn it by heart. Learning to accept the things you can not change, having the courage to change what you can...and most importantly finding the wisdom to know the difference can ease the path for difficult child parents. Sending supportive thoughts. DDD [/QUOTE]
