[QUOTE="Devastated7, post: 725761, member: 22639"] Thank you for all the input. First, in TX parents are responsible for their children going to school until they are either 19 or graduate HS. You go to court if you fail this. THAT is the reason he was/is back at home. That issue is gone now, as he just graduated. Second, reguarding the abuse.....please try not to judge to much. As we all know what you think you would so in a certain situation might not be what you Actually do when that situation arises. I always tell my kids I won’t bail them out, but this son got his one bail out. I hired the lawyers for the abuse case to protect me, hubby, and my other kids. We were all under investigation. Money well spent. It just kills me because son is so smart. That’s how he could graduate early, he was in upper level HS classes freshman and paart of sophomore year....knocked out a ton of credits. Now, he is just lazy. We are looking for a way to kick him out. I’m kinda hoping he will just get himself arrested. Good idea about contacting his Parole Officer though. I’ll do that. It doesn’t help either that my Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) blame me for it all . I went and told the therapist, got this ball rolling of drugs and failure. Even after all that, son goes and steals, yep, still my fault. Husband just says they are going to believe what they want to so just ignore them. Ok, but really? No one can defend me? I love all my kids, even #2, but I didn’t know ,motherhood would be so dang hard. Some days I want to just emancipate myself just to breathe. Thank for letting me vent and sharing advice. Wish I could this outlet years ago before the drugs started....would have done things a little differently. [/QUOTE]
