[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 456674, member: 1514"] We all have the fear that one day the knock on the door will come. I think that is probably every parents biggest fear even parents who have perfectly normal, perfect kids. I lived with that fear the entire time my son was in the Marines and it didnt help that my other one was acting like a horses behind and getting into all kinds of legal troubles at the same time! I was convinced if one didnt end up dead, the other one would. Thankfully neither did but now one works for the sheriffs dept so I am still always worried...sigh. I think parents just have to worry for life. I did end up having to ask my youngest son to leave twice. It wasnt easy and I sure never imagined that I would have to do that. I hoped he would launch into adulthood the way it is supposed to happen but he didnt. He has done pretty well on his own. He seems to do much better when he isnt living at home because he feels less like a kid and more like a real man. Letting him stay at home takes that away from him. It cripples him. I wont make that mistake again. [/QUOTE]
