[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 703756, member: 355"] Welcome, Lost in sadness. So sorry that you are experiencing such a bad time right now. Everyone has posted such great responses - this forum is a lifesaver for parents like us. While we are all at different stages in dealing with our difficult children, we all have a lot in common - the love for our children and the wishing we could 'fix' all of their problems. Sadly, that will not work for our difficult children. Your son's behaviour is exactly the same as my daughter's. The anger, threats and name-calling are all too familiar - then she is all 'lovey-dovey' when she gets her way. My daughter has been on the street, traveling through countries in Europe and Asia for the past 2+ years - lying, manipulating and stealing to get money to continue her travels. She is very creative and can take care of herself when she wants to but it is much easier when she can get someone to do it for her. You also have a 14 year-old daughter at home. I'm sure this has affected her, too. Perhaps now it is time for you to re-group as a family and also to heal individually. Take time to do something nice for yourself. It is physically and emotionally draining to be dealing with this. You are a wonderful wife and mother - please don't forget that. Your son will hopefully find his way. He needs to do this on his own. Keep visiting the forum and post when you can. Sending you hugs and prayers. [/QUOTE]
