[QUOTE="phildjb, post: 330337, member: 8648"] Wow, first of all my sympathies go out to you... As I read your story I thought "this mom sounds just like me" I too am new to this group, and I have found that there is some really great people here with some really great advice. My difficult child was recently arrested on Christmas Eve when he went on a rampage and threw me thru the glass of my front door, and shoving my difficult child 2, and basically just destroyed my living room and kitchen. This past week has been the first week in months that we have been able to breathe easy and get some much needed rest. What has helped us in keeping him locked up in detention is that we called the police every single time he ran away, went into a rage, or basically did anything wrong. And, we requested a report and case number each and every time. Now, the States Attorney is using all those reports to help our case against him. I know that this is hard for anyone to do, but as I have helped my husband to understand, we have to practice "Tough Love" and stand firm in our decisions, we want to hope that this will eveantually end up helping our difficult child 1. Good Luck to you and your family... I will be praying for you.. [/QUOTE]
