Hi i have 2 sets of twins my boys are 17 and my girls are 11. talk about double the trouble. If anyone has a 17 year old out of control a lil advice will go along way now. I love my sons and willalways be there for them but it has got to a point were nothing i have said or done is working, they are constantly gettin into trouble and i dont mean minor trouble i mean with the law. I cannot to begin to say how many times i have been to court for both. Now one of my sons is facing time in a program and hour in ahlf away from my home, It hurts knowing that my child will be away from home for 4-6 months but there is nothing I can do. I want to know if any of you guys have been here and if so what did u do?.. My daughter's a whole different thing one of my girls is severly handicapp and is facing surgery in an attemot to correct her scoliosis among many other disabilities. It's a hard choice to make either way my baby girl will suffer the doctors tell me if i go with the surgery i would risk losing her because she would not be strong enought o suvive it. If I dont do the surgery im left with watching my lil girl suffer while the scoliosis crushes her organs to the point were breathin will become difficult for her. My other daughter suffers from microcephalus thats when the brain is small she has ADHD cant read or write but very bright. I watch her get frustrated as she attempts to do homework or read a book. It pains me that i cant help her more that I am. Doctors have become my enemy everytime i take them something new comes into play. If anyone has any words of wisdom pls fill me in.

Gloria,
While it is hard for you as a mother to have your son away from home for that period of time, I feel that this will give your son an opportunity to realize that his actions are indeed his responsibility and must face the consequences. Hopefully he will be able to spend this time away to come to realize that he needs to make better choices. I know as a mother this will be difficult for you, but it may make all the difference in the world.

I feel for you in the decision you are facing in regards to your one daughter's medical situation.This is never a easy decision for parents to have to make. I pray that all goes well.

With you plate being as full as it is, I hope that you have someone who can lend you support in facing your and your children's daily challenges.Hopefully you have the opportunity to take time for yourself. My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family.
