Permalink  

feeling sorry for myself again tonight. teenage son has breached his probation and it looks likely he will go to jail. im angry because he was at the final part and now he has messed it up. his name will be in the local papers again and im really ashamed and embarrassed. im a teacher and i feel like such a hypocrite. im in charge of a whole class but cant deal with my own son. 

i also feel selfish because im not that concerned about what this means for him because he did this, he was given warnings and did nothing to stop this so really hes getting what was coming. my hp is challenging me and hopefully il get to a better place.

I am so sorry. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. It's none of their business. Take care of yourself and let the courts take care of your son.
Best wishes.

I'm sorry LC

Maybe this is what he might need. Maybe the system can help him

I pray you will find peace with what is happening and have the strength to Let Go and Let God take over.

But you ARE dealing with your son. You are allowing him to reap the consequences of his actions. I think that is terrific. He will learn or he won't learn. That is not on you.
