[QUOTE="zululady, post: 472302, member: 13054"] Hi, I am new to this site and feel for exactly what you are talking about. My son has been in trouble for the last 5 yrs. He is now 18,. Luckily we did not have to kick him out of the house, it was clear to him as well as us, they he could not live with our family values. He has associated with you people who have no parents and no responsibility to anyone, just living lawless lives. He has been in and out of detention and this year he did 3 months in Jail. He does not fit any diagnosis, he is very loving towards us, but mostly he takes no responsibility for his actions. It is NEVER his fault. He does not blame anything on my husband and I...says he loves each time he talks to us..but he throws every lifeline away. I feel awful when I talk to him and awful when I don't. I am trying very hard to give him space even though I know that where he is is not very good. They say, they have to hit the wall -see the light- or whatever. I would have though a few months in jail would have done it...but I don't think it has. Each time there is something positive for him in easy reach, he sabotages it. we never had issues with him until he hit about 12. He was a pretty easy going kid, intense but nothing much. He has now attached himself to a very negative world. It is great to find this forum because it is so easy to get into that space of feeling so alone watching your friend's and families' kids go off to college, get jobs etc. I always like to hear stories of people who have come through the other side...but owing ones stuff is the first step, I guess??? what does difficult child mean? Would value any support or feedback..Zululady [/QUOTE]
