[QUOTE="DDD, post: 559819, member: 35"] I'm hoping you will be able to fade back a bit as the enforcer. If he feels that you are dictating all his decisions then he will see his issues as "problems with a controlling Mom" when the goal is for him to recognize that the world requires him to "earn to get". For example I would not have relayed the information shared with you by the doctor. I would have asked the lady or man at church to address the distraction and/or inappropriateness of girlfriend being at the church. As Insane said "it will get worse before it gets better" but I believe it will get better sooner if he deals with people outside the family one on one as much as possible. From experience I "think" some of my kids would have matured more quickly if I had selectively stepped back a bit. Not in huge circumstances but in smaller ones that might have helped them perceive that the world has rules...not just parents. Hugs and good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
