[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 9438, member: 2389"] I have this huge file cabinet with all of difficult child's paperwork from the past 4 yrs. I had to find a paper and I began searching through the paperwork, I became overwhelmed with it all. Nothing I tried helped. I think I was trying to validate my actions of failure by comparing with others what I had down . You know, if it didn't work for anyone else, maybe the fault was on the system and not me. I guess what I have learned is that perhaps I tried the wrong things. Looking back I see many things I would have done differently. I was scared of how he was on medications. I kept getting a deaf ear to my concerns, I would have made a much louder noise knowing what I know now. Jail seemed to make him worse, like Ant's mom shared. But when you can find no other place and he is threatening you, What do you do? In his 17th yr, I stood firm that he would get his GED.He ran away from the grouphome and was missing 3 mths, it was being locked in a cell that brought him his GED. I also raced against the clock of his 18th b'day to make sure he went through drug treatment. I now feel like I have provided him all I can he has his GED, he has had therapy for his anger and emotions, and he has completed drug treament. I have now released my reigns and I am letting him flounder around in the world Hopefully soon he will run out of buddies that supply him and meet his needs, in his eyes he is just acting like a grown up does, where he got the idea of grown ups acting that way beats me [/QUOTE]
