[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 740392, member: 19245"] You are very correct about how parents and children are changing. I have a few major behavior issues in class, but so far, no major issues from parents. Some parents and their children have little respect for teachers. Sometimes, parents excuse their child's poor behavior or blame other students or the teacher. Sadly, some children have little or no support from home. When teachers retire, the only thing they don't miss are the parents. I have had wonderful, helpful parents, but I also have had ones that argue about everything. Did that last storm affect you? I saw something very briefly on the news. I hope that you are doing okay. You sound like you are in great shape! The best I do is 40 minutes on my slim glider... My middle son just stays at home. It has been over a year. He has threatened suicide and at other times says that he wants to be homeless. At those times he says that he wants my youngest son to take hus beloved dog. There have been a few times that he drives off and I am worried for hours about what he is doing. Yes, you are correct, he doesn't realize how bad he is and refuses therapy or medications. I feel that my health is going down due to stress and profound grief. My eldest used to fight against the onslaught if schizophrenia. There are times that my second son reminds me of him and I feel that my heart will break. If he has schizophrenia, he got it from my genes. I keep wishing that I had not told him about the restraining order against my eldest son until he graduated college. He didn't come home to visit because my ill son had a falling out with him and would become very violent. My middle son did not want that to happen. He fell apart after my eldest son's restraining order. Major trauma can bring on schizophrenia if you are predisposed. On a lighter note, on a fluke, I bought tickets to London.
