[QUOTE="DDD, post: 608364, member: 35"] Reading your post triggered "damp eyes"...even though I am "detached", LOL! In our community juveniles were for many years listed in the local newspaper when they were arrested for pot or whatever. MOST people didn't say a "you know whattin" word. Others sought me out, I think, for the "details". Almost every parent told their teen to stay away from our easy child/difficult child who had ironically been featured in the newspaper as a gifted student who made awesome history in our City for sports achievement. It's been over ten years and your post moved me. So much for advanced detachment! My response?? Usually, I simply said "thank you so much for caring". Sometimes I said "We've raised a couple of teen boys already and understand that weird things happen during adolescence...thanks for caring!" I understand your pain. Many of us understand your pain. I hope he get's his act together soon and that you are able to study the Detachment concept AND take comfort in The Serenity Prayer. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
