[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 428268, member: 6370"] Welcome, Loopy! I too have adopted chidren. difficult child 2 was sucked into the druggie life style when he was 16. He ran away and lived on the street, in cars, couch surfed, etc. "because we were lousy parents". His girlfriend got him to call CPS on me. This was made even more painful because we were living in a very small community in Maine and my husband was sometimes asked to testify in child abuse cases since he was one of the two radiologists in town. He told people that husband was "p***y whipped", showed up at the hospital to bully his exhausted and embarrassed father into giving him money. DHS of Maine put him on food stamps. I felt afraid to go to the supermarket because I thought all eyes were on me. He was begging for money in that supermarket one day and I informed him in a loud voice that, not only would I not help support his drugged up girlfriend, but that his family had stock in the corporation that owned said supermarket. By a strange coincidence the girlfriend's aunt was on line behind me, she was visiting from MA and asked if I needed a hug. She told me in a loud voice that her niece deserved to be in jail because she was a thief and had broken her mother's heart. That felt like a sign from God that I was not alone. The upside of our story is that he is getting married in a month and has a job. He calls us, worries about us when he doesn't hear from us. He admits that he made lousy choices and that his life would have been easier if he had stayed home and we had put him through technical school. The downside is that there is a bench warrant out for his arrest here in MD. SIGH. Frankly, Loopy, the next time some holier than thou ignoramus spits on you, you should have him/her arrested for assault. [/QUOTE]
