[QUOTE="busywend, post: 229226, member: 391"] Welcome, Dave! I, too, would like to know the name of the book you mentioned. I also would like to know how old your son is. When my difficult child was 10 I certainly did not feel comfortable with letting her learn things on her own in her own time - sometimes it seemed dangerous to allow her to do that. But, at 17 - she is making her own life decisions. I try my best to guide and give advice, but if she chooses not to study for a test - not my problem. I tried to teach those skills and she resisted learning them. I still have rules and guidelines for her, ie: time she has to be home, etc. As you said I am sure your wife is struggling to maintain because it is so difficult to parent a difficult child. Give her space and make sure she gets some time to herself to pamper and reenergize. [/QUOTE]
