[QUOTE="Suz, post: 261528, member: 29"] Cakewalk, the natural consequences of his decisions haven't caught up with him yet. Rest assured that they will. The grades will be the first symptom. There will be others. Many others. It took Rob YEARS to realize the impact of his actions. It took YEARS for Rob to even get a glimmer of how much his actions hurt those around him. And it took YEARS for Rob to understand that life would have been so much better for him if he wasn't so determined to undermine himself. I hope you don't have to wait that long for your son to gain this kind of insight. In the meantime, please try to find solace and comfort elsewhere. Repeat the Serenity Prayer as often as you need to get through the day. Lower your expectations for difficult child so you aren't disappointed and will be pleasantly surprised with any success. Find joy with your other child and let your older one learn. Happy birthday to your son. Suz [/QUOTE]
