[QUOTE="DDD, post: 355693, member: 35"] I want to welcome you to the Board. As we often say "glad you found us" "sorry you needed to". It really sounds like you have come to peace with your current situation. That's terrific.I can relate to the panic of thinking you might lose a child as our easy child/difficult child fell three stories andended up having emergency brain surgery. A major scare like that can certainly alter the feelings you have about the value of life.Personally I would suggest that you tell your son one more thing. Tell him that if he decides that he wants to live a positive life that you will make every effort to find a residential treatmentprogram that might help him turn things around...IF he wants it. Many of us have sent our kids to residential programs and some of us have felt that it helped a bit. It's impossible for kids to turn back the clock on their own once they have chosen new friends with limited goalsand criminal histories. As you say, they are no longer welcome in their old circle of friends.It's so sad.Best of luck to you. Feel free to post as often as you like. This group understands. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
