[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 463263, member: 12490"] Good for you! In my town, I have had a lot of parents come to me for advice as my story is fairly well known due to my son's very public unraveling. It is so frustrating to give the same advice over and over and see parents afraid to take the tough steps that are the only way to break through. God forbid they don't have their phone or car for a while. While I understand how scary it can be sometimes to stand firm against a defiant teenager, you must be strong to break through. By confronting and holding him accountable to YOUR (which are also society's by the way) conditions, you are helping him. Don't back down on the counseling - again - groups are better if possible. I have heard of lot a parents say "he won't go to counseling" - WHAT - doesn't he want stuff from you???? You were strong - now be calm and carry on! [/QUOTE]
