[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 498456, member: 12856"] It must be a Sunday thing. My difficult child was at it early this morning. I don't even remember how it started,but it always ends being about " I want to live my own life..you don't have to call the cops when I don't come home... so what if I smolke weed, skip out of school, cuss out adults, allow my friends to cuss you out... you should still give me money when I want it and buy me a cell phone ... Then came the throwing things,threats,"I need to go to the hospital....." I held my ground. I would have called the cops but they would only lecture him or ED him to yet another facility and I would be many thousands of dollars MORE indebt. He uses the hospital to escape feeling the pain of his poor choices. I too tried to smooth things over when we started this journey. I believe as care takers, that's what we do. Was it to his benefit or mine? NO. Like you I realize the errors of my ways. Does it hurt to see him struggle and at times appear to not get it?.....yep. Does it hurt me? ...Yep. Is it necessary?....Yep. Will it work?... Nothing else has. Major kuddos to you on standing your ground and having a good day!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
