[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 88748, member: 2287"] Mikey, you are living my worst nightmare. This is exactly what my dear friend was going through with her son (my difficult child's bio dad). Her son has been in the pen three times...and this time (still in) for six years. We adopted difficult child from him at birth, but I have visions of this very thing happening with my difficult child.....and I have no idea what I would do. I think it would be ME who would "bring the bottom up" and husband who would cave each time difficult child would plead. What a devastating way for you to be living your life right now. These children can tear out our hearts and stomp on them, never grateful for all that you sacrifice. My difficult child has no siblings at home and I often think how much more difficult life would be if I was trying to protect a sibling, not only myself. Right now difficult child is SO influenced by his peers because he wants to fit in so badly...THAT alone scares me to death. I feel for you, Mikey. Your wife is hurting badly, too. I admire that you haven't just said..."Then have at it!!" and walked away. I would be very tempted.... [/QUOTE]
