[QUOTE="klmno, post: 351607, member: 3699"] A lot of that is being a teen boy I think- in regards to not talking to their mother anymore. But honestly, there have been tdocs and people in the system that have encouraged my son NOT to talk to me - apparently thinking that we were too close and that was the problem. Personally- I think they are idiots. It's not like he had any other really caring responsible adult around to talk to. Now they all can't seem to understand why he doesn't respect me. Duh. But yes, for the little he does tell me, I am grateful. He is teetering though between right from wrong and which path in life he wants to take and he has learned better ways to mainpulate so I never know which side of him I'm hearing. I'm thinking this is where tough love really is important. The one good thing about having been involved with all this stuff for about 4 years now is that it is clear in my own mind where lines are- or at least clearer than it used to be- and I am able to be more consistent because of that. And difficult child is a little more mature and I am NOT buying certain stunts anymore. [/QUOTE]
