[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 634317, member: 3305"] Janet, I'm SO glad you are okay! Does sound like that was a very scary accident. I went to counceling yesterday and my councelor told me that husband and I have to use the word NO with our children. And that this will either make things better...or worse. But that if husband and I are to ever reach our dreams/goals again we absolutely have to let our children own their adult choices. The only time I began to cry in counceling yesterday was for husband. He has put up with this crap for soooooo long now and his feet hurt and his knee hurts and his back hurts etc. I wonder sometimes how many yrs we have left...and how long before we are completely disengaged from our children's choices. I am feeling okay today. We have GOT to look for a rental home soon so that husband and I have a place to live in 7 weeks, lol. One other thing...I'm beginning to really despise police. I know it's not their faults that oldest stole from husband's company while on meth, that young difficult child spit on police, that easy child had marijuana on her while driving...but still. I wish they would just go after the bad guys! I think about all the things that I got away with as a teenager (granted my children are no longer teenagers). Zero tolerance has just put law enforcement into "over-achieving mode in my opinion. I think about all the police interaction when the boys were teens...sometimes over stupid stuff like oldest difficult child pulling out a butter knife and threatening young difficult child. That cost us $1000 lawyer fee as they charged him with aggravated assault. Gratefully that charge (between brothers being stupid) was dropped. But still. I know I shouldn't dislike police now...and I am a very law-abiding citizen and have nothing personally to worry about but they just seem to have their radar up big time on my kids! I do seem to vascilate between who and what to blame sometimes. It does me no good. Uhg...can the "crazy's" just stop! I'm so tired of it all. LMS [/QUOTE]
