That is the very one I reminded God of last night. In addition to praying for his safety. Funny how you would like to hurt them yourself but don't want anything bad to happen to them. Part of being a parent I guess. Your situation sounds really stressful indeed. At least my husband and I are on the same page and present a united front.

"Funny how you would like to hurt them yourself but don't want anything bad to happen to them."

Reminds me of an old Garfield cartoon. Neighborhood cat kicks Odie. Garfiled beats up neighborhood cat. Garfield says: "nobody abuses Odie but me!"

I was a complete A-hole as a teenager except I never got hurt and rarely got caught. My life turned around when I started hanging around different friends. I would keep an eye on who your son hangs around with, although there is not a whole lot you can do about that if you are at work as my parents were.
