I'm looking into ways to help my self and specially the way I feel when my sons in trouble I think maybe a group sesson or program that I can go to or visit a on line one with parents of trouble teens or something like that would help me handle those feelings better. ANYONE KNOW ONE!

I don't really know of any, but I will keep my eyes peeled and my ears open for you. If you need to talk to anyone, I am here for you. I have a son who is only 3 (will be 4 in less than 3 months) but I'm sure I can relate in some ways and I can sure listen.

thanks Ami,
not only doe I have a son 15 years I also have a 3 year old girl Yes I am starting over It is good and hard sometimes but maybe I know more now for my three year old so I can hlep her and others when it comes to the small ones...

Is your boy a good big brother? Encourage him to do so and that may be what straightens him up. It's important for him to know that he's a role model and looked up to. He may end up doing really good things with that idea.

Hi- everyone and THANKS Ami, for the reminder. My son loves his little sister very much and she can't get enough of him. I will try to think of new ways to get them to do something together. the age difference can be a plus sometimes. It would be good for me if I could find a group or on line group of mothers with children with large age spans. maybe someone knows one?

Hi Frosty,

They also have a forum.

Post anywhere there, but try the For Families & Friends area.

Great group of folks. and their chat room is great. They have a chat that is moderated almost daily. They will tell you how to find the times and days they are held. But the chat area is always open.

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck.

Thank you NewDay, I will go to the web site next. I'm happy to have recieved your tip. It is nice to stay at home and use the internet to find help and support. I know it is also important that I go out and I will work on that also, it's just tuff doing everything right now. I feel pulled in all directions. I'm in a process as they say and I'm going to get better I have come this far so a pat on the back for me....
