[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 377117, member: 1991"] Yes. Stop it. If you think you have PTSD (and frankly, you could ha ve simply with all the stuff difficult child did last time he was out) then get help for yourself. NOW. Based on the recent stuff. Let any therapist do the digging for old stuff, and if they think it could have a bearing on difficult child (I don't think it does; I think whatever is wrong with your mother and brother, difficult child could have inherited and that would be more a contributor than any PTSD you yourself had) then let it be put on the table. By experts. Not by you. And not now. Stop trying to rescue the kid. If you get him out, he will never learn the consequences. If your PTSD caused your difficult child to go so badly off the rails, how come my difficult child 3 (not to mention my other kids) is not the same as yours? My PTSD was not successfully treated, not for years and there is still a fair bit of it there. I've had to work out my own coping skills. But my son is law-abiding, loving, honest and conscientious. Frankly, much of that is to his own credit, and connected to his autism. Yo did not make your son into a criminal because of any PTSD. Your son made his own choices, especially as he got older. You have had too much crud from your family trying to convince you that YOU are the source of all things bad in the world. Stop letting them win! Marg [/QUOTE]
