[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 568818, member: 3305"] I so wish I could get young difficult child into an alternative group. He was a MAJOR pain in the A as I took him to a neighboring town to the church where the Overcomers group was this morning. He cussed at least half the way. daughter in law and grandchildren spent the night last night. daughter in law shared with me this morning that young difficult child was blaming her last night for his time in prison. See, this is where I do have a problem that he does not accept some sort of Higher Power/Intelligent Designer etc. Where is there gratitude for the gifts in his life? Where does he see provision and blessing???? He doesn't. He still see's himself as a victim apparently...and a victim of what? Chaotic happenstance??? He has some very ill-thinking going on right now. I told daughter in law this would be his ticket back to prison and it would be no fault of hers or mine...for all our efforts. I told her that he needs to take responsibility for his own behavior/choices/actions...it is up to him. I just wish he could see all that has been provided for him...all the many ways that we are all giving of our time and energy for him. We don't have to...it is a gift. And instead I don't know what he holds to be truth in his heart. Why do we owe him anything, ya know. Duty, Provision, Love...where does he think these virtues might originate from??? And Faith...faith that there is a purpose in each day, meaning, and a story to be told by his life. Faith that things will get better if he keeps his focus and mind in the right place. He is very self-centered still. I am seeing it this morning. And it has me very concerned about the days ahead. LMS [/QUOTE]
