[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 343608, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I have to admit I read this thread several times over & one thing stuck out to me...... You are one exhausted parent at the end of her rope. AND please do not take this as criticism - it's not. in my humble opinion, you may be been over reactive. Your difficult child is close enough to 18 I wouldn't stress myself by checking every little thing that he does. kt is turning 16 in a few months & when she returned home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in Jan. I decided that I would no longer drive myself over the edge by checking every little thing (phone calls being the big one). When I looked back on all I had to manage plus the daily "activities" of my ktbug I had to let go of where she spent money, who she called & why. My main concern - running & promiscuity. So I'm saying this from one exhausted mom to the next - let the little things go. Address the big ones for your difficult child. The closer he becomes to adulthood the less you can control his choices - help difficult child with the big choices in life if he will allow your input. Take a break, sweetie. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
