[QUOTE="nvr2l8, post: 412921, member: 11324"] Thank you so much for all the kind words of support. It has been a week of mo contact with my son, a week of worry, but also a week of peace. I almost feel guilty about that. Feeling peace. It's been so long I forgot what it felt like. The last bunch of years have been as though I am constantly holding my breath, waiting for the next big calamity. Right now I know my son is staying with a friend, he still has a job( I hope) and has the opportunity to maintain if he chooses. He only sh...Tourette's Syndrome where he lived not elsewhere. I am fearful for the day he does make contact and what he will want from us. I know in my heart of heart that this reprieve is only temporary, and I will be in the hot seat again with him needing to come home, wanting to be part of the family, learned his lesson et al. My middle son has decided to be the discipline issue now. It has been happening over a period of time, but has escalated in the last week with my older son now gone. He has been skipping school,lying, using pot, some stealing. We have him in counselling trying to nip it in the bud, and although he likes the counsellor he has not made much progress. My older son was an "in your face, what you see is what you get" kind of kid. My younger son is much more sneaky, manipulative and keeps his feeling to himself. I really thinks that he thinks because we put up with so much from our older child that what he does will be tolerated too. I don't know how much fortitude I have to do this again. I told him he better decide which side of the door he wants to be on because we are not going down this path again. Thanks for the advice, i will certainly heed it. I wish I had found this forum sooner. [/QUOTE]
