[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 617977, member: 17269"] Does it sound better? I don't know. I haven't read any of your earlier posts, but I'm having trouble with "Every week its something..either we find pot or he does something dumb (speeding tickets, unauthorized withdrawals from atm, cuts a class, stays out past curfew)." as progress... Recovering is right. 17 is different than 19, and being in high school and at home and a minor are all kind of in your favor...but you doing his schoolwork, his idea that he is entitled to a party (and throwing anything when he couldn't have one)...and your list of misbehaviors all sound serious to me. My daughter, now 19, did a lot of that stuff too, and in the end is a easy child...I truly believe it was a phase, and do not expect another shoe to drop...whereas her brother is a difficult child for life, no matter if he has good periods, I know that too. I don't know where your son lies, and probably neither do you....I just really hope for you that you can set really firm boundaries around those behaviors, and not, in fact, let him live in your basement in 5 years, especially not if it is because he still ikes speeding and staying out past curfew. Your son is still a kid. Good you are alert and watching out. I wish you luck.
