[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 402215, member: 1233"] First, Happy Birthday difficult child! And his Mom (You did all the hard work!!) Marg has good points. Also make a hard copy of the letter in case of computer problems. This doesn't mean he isn't going to do those things again, that will take hard work on his part. It does mean he is growing up and maturing, which is an excellent sign. Try to remember that admitting that you have a problem is half the battle toward recovery. This is the first time he has admitted that he was the cause of his problems. Admitting that if you had done what he thought he wanted a mom to do, then he would be dead or in jail for the rest of his life right now is also HUGE. This is a sign that he may be on the road to having a successful life outside of juvy/jail/etc... The adhd medications is not a surprise but is worrying. I think sending it back and telling him that he knows what he should do (and what you would advise him to do) is a good thing. It makes HIM take the step of 'fessing up without using you as a scapegoat. Your little boy is growing up!!! ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) [/QUOTE]
