[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 269736, member: 1436"] K, you have to let go of wanting to control the future and learn to live one day at a time. A year is such a very long time (especially in teenage years) and so much maturation happens so quickly---you never know. I've told you before, and I'm going to say it again, I so wish I had allowed my difficult child to go to Department of Juvenile Justice when he was in trouble as a juvenile; it may have saved him later on. As it is now, he has a felony that he got when he right after he turned 18. It will haunt him the rest of his life. If I had allowed natural consequences to happen when they should have, maybe he would have learned his lesson earlier. Have a good visit. Concentrate on letting your son know how much you love him. Try to enjoy the time you have together. The future will take care of itself. Try to live for the moment. [/QUOTE]
