[QUOTE="amstrong, post: 60251, member: 3266"] Cage, Kicked difficult child out last year upon his turning 18 and adopting the I can do whatever I want attitude. He was out for 12 (sleeples for me) nights, got in some trouble with the law (I refused to bail him out)and after court, begged to come home. He did pretty well this year, graduated high school, moved out in a fit of anger (lasted a few days)and came home agreeing to follow the rules understading that we are not operating a revolving door. About a month ago, he made a really bad decision and totalled his car and got himself a DUI. He has been to court, is paying his fines, taking his classes and following our rules. We have been getting him to and from work and he is paying for the gas. I just found out that I am going to be gainfully employed again as of this coming Tuesdday and he has already made arrangements with his boss to walk to the store that is near our home and catch a ride on the delivery truck to the store he works at. He did this on his own. I am thinking that maybe this last go round of bad behavior has opened his eyes. One can always hope Hang in there, and try not to call her. She knows you love her but she is angry right now. I know it is hard but in the long run, it may be just what she needs. Hugs, [/QUOTE]
