[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 85499, member: 1436"] "Life is hell, life will always be hell. He is never happy, doesn't believe he has the capacity to be happy. Nothing good ever happens, everytime he tries at something he fails - what's the point in trying anymore. At least in jail he won't be disappointed. He won't work the program because it won't make any difference. It won't help him because nothing can help him. The only way he can escape the pain is pot. I have no response." I have heard this sooooooo many times from my difficult child. For a long time I listened. Then I really listened and what I heard was "I want to do what I want to do...and as long as you protect me and let me use you I will." My difficult child only did this when he was really depressed and he was only really depressed when things got hard or when he was in trouble. You have so much on you right now I don't know how in the world you are holding up! You need to work on detachment---he's going to do what he's going to do. If he wants to go to prison---he will get there. Just don't let him drag you down with him! Stop answering the phone. Stop communication for the next few days. I know it's hard---but...you have to stand back and get a good perspective. HUGS from one tired warrior mom to another. [/QUOTE]
