only makes you stronger!
At least that is what I am hoping. All the sudden my life is about probation officers and court dates. My son got arrested and my husband is deployed. Parenting is harder than I ever thought it would be and I am reeling trying to make sense of all this and figure out what to do.
At the same time that I am figuring all this out, I need to figure out how to destress. Running has not been an option because when they put your kid on house arrest, it is really putting the parent on house arrest too. I think I may try some meditation/yoga because I can do that at home. I used to think that when a kid got in trouble, "where are his parents?" Now I am learning that you can love your kids more than anything, provide a loving stable environment, and they can still get in trouble. I am not sure why this is affecting me so much, maybe because he is my first and I feel a special connection to him even though I don't think he does to me.
I am praying and praying and praying hoping to see a light at the end of this tunnel. I just want life to be normal again!!!
That is all for now, sorry for the downer,
Robin

Lordy, don't apologize. You're right Robin. There are no guarantees when it comes to raising kids. All we can do is the best we can do and lean on God and hope.
Running will always be there. Sounds like right now your family needs you more than ever. It's a selfless, thankless job. I'm glad it's you and hubby who are there for your son. I know you love him and want the best for him. Take care. Praying for you!!!
