[QUOTE="buddy, post: 579473, member: 12886"] One of those times I wish I could be there in real life to hug a board sister! This is really tough. I don't know if this is true for you guys, but here when q says he's sorry and will never do x again, I believe he believes it's true. If that makes sense. But I've lived this so long and know his issues and I never ever count on it. Sometimes sorry is sorry I got caught or please don't give me a consequence but it's not so black and white. My heart wants to think, maybe this time he understands. But until he's more mature and has more skills I know it won't just happen like that. Our kids have totally different issues but the effects have some heartbreaking overlap. I won't pretend to know the intensity of having to kick my son out....but have had to keep placement somewhere other than home in a scary corner of my brain. Even the thought kills me, I'd need every loved one around me. I hope you have some real life support but you have us for sure. You're helping your son grow. Don't participate in another chance for steps forward /back. It seems like now he is getting to that point....hopefully, where he might take a step to really dig himself out. I pray thats so. Listen to your SA sisters here, they'll have advice. Stay strong, your feelings are so understandable and being a true warrior parent sure involves making the hard decisions. You can do this.....{{{hug}}} [/QUOTE]
