LMS - I am sorry I didnt respond sonner... still catching up myself after having been overseas for 6 weeks.
I think of you often and your stories about how hard it was when your oldest was in prison and then your young difficult child went. I remember the two weeks my difficult child was in jail was just awful for me.... and yet now a part of me would be relieved if my difficult child got arrested and went to jail again. At least then I would know where he was and he would be off the streets.... but I remember your story and think but maybe that would be worse on me than I imagine.
Hearing that your oldest got clean while in prison and has stayed that way after release is encouraging and makes me hopeful.
I too hope your young difficult child does not come home to live with you. A halfway house, or some kind of conditions of parole including treatment would be better I think. I hope you sell your house soon.
