[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 630345, member: 15801"] I have found that when I am angry it is easier to detach so the fact that you are angry right now is a good thing! I understand the feelings about him not following any of your values.... I feel that way too, although I no longer feel guilty for feeling that way. He is who is and now he is an adult, his life is up to him. As far as jail that I think is a huge wake up call. I think they think jail is not so bad, I can do it, no big deal, until they spend time there. I know my difficult child recently told us quite clearly the rules in jail, meaning the rules of the inmates. Lol. He has figured out how to survive there but man he is following those rules!! Too bad he has such trouble on the outside but hopefully he will learn. He keeps telling us they are all criminals.... ha ha of course they are that is why they are there!! So jail is no picnic, it is survivable but it is not a good experience and definitely puts them in their place. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
