[QUOTE="karisma, post: 689750, member: 20391"] I want to thank everyone for their replies. It means so much to me to communicate with other parents hurting in the same way. He was a very difficult child and I received a ton of unsolicited and unwelcome advice. Mostly people thought I was just a bad mother who didn't know how to discipline my child. He was diagnosed at age 3 by a panel of child psychologists at the university I was then attending. I was fortunate to have so many understanding professionals there to help, but mostly people just glared at me while I was trying to employ the bear hug technique in the cereal isle of the grocery store. Friends from college stopped talking to me, convinced it was my fault that he was so violent. Heck to this day I have friends that tell me he is just lazy. I don't discuss his issues with those people any longer and it is an enormous relief to have somewhere to be understood. Yesterday I went to his court hearing but was told he was at superior court and that his justice court hearing had to be reset for tomorrow. I asked them what on earth they are talking about. Come to find out he was arrested a couple months ago for four drug felonies and never told me about it. I would never have known if that court date was not reset. He would have blown it all off and gone to prison and I wouldn't even have known. He will probably still go to prison because he won't comply with probation. Very upset at his avoidance [/QUOTE]
