[QUOTE="Jstreet, post: 731270, member: 22974"] He doesn't respect me. He hasn't since he was a little kid. I remember his cub scout leader saying that he didn't have enough respect for me. And it's only gotten worse as he's gotten older. Tonight I caught him driving after 10 p.m. which is against the law for his level license and he flipped out on me and got in my face. I don't know what to do to help him and it's breaking my heart. If he does go to jail ever I will blame myself because no matter how bad the kid is there has to have been something I could have been doing as he grew up to help him be better, but how can I help him now? I can't get in the counseling I'll lose my security clearance for my job. If there were some way to receive therapy anonymously it would be a different story but if I receive any type of mental health services including just counseling I have to report it to my job which could lose my security clearance and would lose me my job. I was just looking for ideas, strategies, anything I could do differently that could help him. But apparently it's just too late. [/QUOTE]
