[QUOTE="Star*, post: 217906, member: 4964"] Terry, When we experienced the "Nothing is owned by me" behaviors on a minute to minute basis? I think I remember wondering what I would look like at 40 - perhaps bald? Most definitely bald, with bags under my eyes and an ulcer, gray hairs on my hag head hair-do and frumpy - I wanted frumpy. The frumpier the better - it was my "Look what you have done to me" look and I deserved every wrinkle and mismatched outfit. We barely survived - lol. I had no idea that Department of Juvenile Justice and county jail ever changed my son's life. He has always been so closed up (unless it was to blame everyone around him for his life and situations). When he admitted in a meeting recently with powers that be - he admitted very honestly that he's been with kids who were planning to steal in a store and walked out, called for a ride. He told them they could do what they wanted but he's also on his possible third strike - jail for life (if convicted of the attempted burglary trial to come). So imagine OUR surpise as parents when he said "And I have no one to blame but myself." I literally had to hold the table to keep from falling out of the chair and looking like I was going to have a full on heart attack from shock. SOMETHINGS DO GET THROUGH WITH PERSISTANCE..... Despite 2 or 10 glasses of wine - BRAVO MOM!!!!!!!!!!!! Very proud of you! Also proud of difficult child for trying.....some days that's all these kids have to feel good about - and the more they try - really the better they feel. They just don't know it yet. .....this coming from the Mother of the KING of defeatest attitudes and self-sabotage. Hugs! Star [/QUOTE]
