[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 626804, member: 17542"] JKF----I am sorry and you are right no mother wants this. It sounds like his behavior has been out of control for a long time. One thing I have come to realize is that the options are very few when this is the case. My son has been the same. And when you pare it down to the simple few options....rehab and a new attitude being at the top of course, then jail is right behind that one and the other options are homelessness and worse. I have come to understand that if adults want no rules and no responsibility, this cannot be tolerated in a just society. That is my son right now too. Today your son is safe from himself and from the unmonitored actions of others. My son has been In jail some eight or nine times and he seems to be okay there. Today when he is there---like right now---I am relieved and can relax. Having said all of the above I remember feeling like you are feeling. This is out of your hands for now JKF. He will likely be asking you for help so start thinking about what you will and will not do now. Write it down. You can still change your mind at any time as that is your prerogative as an adult. Hugs and prayers for you all especially you and difficult child. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
