[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 9600, member: 2315"] really tried? I got a letter from difficult child. He says he really isn't sure how he is doing and that he often thinks he just wants to give up. What the heck is with that????? We worked our buns off to get him out of prison and into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). We went into our retirement assets and husband will now have to work to 70 to make up for it. difficult child gave the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) two months and then walked away. He has been in prison since then. It has been five months so far when it only had to be 4 months total. All because he can't stay out of trouble long enough to finish the early release program. I spoke to the prison SW. difficult child is allowed to try to complete it again. So why does he want to give up? I feel like screaming at him. "IF you would only apply yourself and stop being so darn lazy and manipulative (ie the suicide gesture) you would be out of there!" I'm tired of guessing at what difficult child can and can't do. I just want him to do what he HAS to do. He's the one who put himself in a position where no one can help him but himself and now he wants to give up???????????? I am so angry I could spit!
