[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yknow, after you beat your head against a wall for awhile you quit caring so it doesn't hurt so much. I hope you never sit up wondering wether your kid will come home or this time it will be the police calling....whether your reasonable attempts to stop your daughters physical lesbian affair at 13 will cause your kid to run to believing friends parents who will tell her you are mean and let her stay in their homes, or when exactly your family is gonna get busted for the humongous stash of pot you just found in her room...go ahead and get all judgmental. Have at it.

When I had the  other kids, she was a bright happy kindergartener. Why shouldn't we have a family?  Because the crystal ball didn't quite work?

.....and I hope that the judgmental PPs never have to sit up wondering whether someone is gonna bust through the door and harm your family because your DC decided to steal weed from a dealer.  Or having to comfort a younger DS who had a gun pointed at him because someone was after his older brother for the above mentioned theft. That was the straw in our case. On the flip side, it was that incident and putting us in danger that made DS realize that he needed help.

I am a NP and I have has similar issues with my DS.  And you can love, help, cajole, threaten, etc....sometimes it is not enough.  Most parents are loving and will put up with so much to try to help their kids turn around. But all of us have a breaking point. [/quote]
