[QUOTE="Tymica, post: 677484, member: 17612"] You are not heartless. I have that guilty feeling also with my 18 year old addict son. The truth is, we're not heartless, we've just become accustomed to their terrible life choices. The court probably assumed "Oh, well, of COURSE his own mother will let him stay with her." Not taking the time to think about the reason he is in court to begin with and how many years of this we have already endured. My son is quite a bit younger than yours, and he is not welcome to stay here at all, teenager or not. I don't have enough locks to protect myself from his theiving, his shady friends, etc... I am so sorry you are going through all of this. It sounds like you have the detachment part down pat, hopefully the system will give him the support he needs! [/QUOTE]
