[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 163099, member: 2727"] Wow, You already expected this. I do not think you are being to harsh at all. His telling you that he won't do this or that until you give him what he wants is sooooo 17. He broke the law, Got caught and now he has to face the consequences for his bad choices. I would not give in for one minute, All that would do is just prove to him that he has the power and that is the worst thing you can do. You hold on to that power and do not let him bully you into submission. If he gets into a fight at school then so be it, That is his choice, I can tell you that it surely is not for the right reasons though (A peer thing). Just a thought, But can you change scools by chance to try and head off this peer thing? I agree with the others as well as far as protecting yourself, Its a tough spot to be in as a mom especially if you even have the thought that your own would have any violent tendencies towards you, So be careful but yet stay tough and don't give in. I have had major powerplays with my difficult child and its no fun but I refused to cave knowing that it was the right thing to do, I took my chance and in the end it worked out. (I won) No it's not all about winning its about holding onto the consequences that you have in place and not giving him the satisfaction of over powering you. He already knows hes being a pain and pushing your buttons waiting for you to cave. [/QUOTE]
