[QUOTE="galadriel, post: 130509"] I have a son who is able to drop an off-hand comment or make a statement that gives me hope that somewhere within him are the tools or the quiet center to save him from himself. At just-about-16 he is just starting in on discovering himself, and trying every stupid thing on the way (he's McWeedy II), while being very very overwhelmed emotionally and trying desperately to hide his vulnerability. Should the time come that he says something like "Maybe I need jail to straighten me out", I would look him right in the eye and tell him, "YOU know what YOU need - NOW DO IT!" They have to get to the point where they take the action on behalf of themselves. [/QUOTE]
