[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 755226, member: 19832"] You seem to be looking through a clear lens at your son's behavior and perspective. It is so difficult to have insight and to be powerless to make those we love take steps in their own best interest. Your son is lucky to have parents who have done so much to help him change his course positively. Whether he uses those opportunities or not is out of your hands. I also hear the effect his choices have had on you, but that somehow you have managed to keep a sense of irony and humor, and love for your son intact. My DS has (now 34), unfortunately, spent the last twenty years defying authority - both ours and the law - and the continued legal, personal, physical, and emotional consequences make his future more and more difficult. I pray that your son chooses a better way. I also know what it's like to sit in a courtroom and watch a son in prison garb and shackles be escorted in. It hurts. My heart goes out to you. [/QUOTE]
