[QUOTE="klmno, post: 412567, member: 3699"] Lord help you....you have a clone of my son. Probation only served to enable him to become worse because all efforts were so blatantly obviously talling "the parent" to change with threats of charges to me that difficult child milked it for all it was worth and felt justified on top of it- ie, it gave him a sense of entitlement on top of everything else. He is now spending the majority of his teen years incarcerated in juvie prison where he's only getting worse and feeling more resolved to a life of incarceration all the time. I hope you all get a good PO and GAL- assuming one will be assigned since it was an assault on you- and a good therapist, that will surely be ordered and you will have to follow all that therapist's recommendations to the T or you could be found in contempt. It's a shame, but sometimes that approach only widens the barrier between parent and child and is really counter-productive in the long run. I'm sorry. If I had it to do over, I honestly don't know what I'd do but I do know that I look back and see many, many things I wished I had done differently. by the way- my son isn'typical teen spending so much time in juvy prison over the first incident liike that- he had many tdo's to psychiatric hospital while on probation then the second time he pulled a knife on me, I basicly demanded they do more than probation and whacko therapist with- a behabvior contract that would do no more than negotiate what I'd do differently if difficult child would quit breaking the law, they refused to let him go to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) I had lined up and sent him to state Department of Juvenile Justice. It's a no-win. I soooo wish a better outcome for your family. [/QUOTE]
