[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 264954, member: 2459"] I think your difficult child and mine are related. Mine is exactly like that in that he thinks rules are for everyone else....works his butt off (HA) and should be able to do what he wants....blah blah blah blah blah. Personally, and this is just me, I would violate him. Yes you did say he's not on the right medications but that only goes so far. He knows right from wrong but doesn't care....maybe violating his probation will have an affect. Maybe not. But....he's got to learn that rules apply to HIM too. He can't just do what he wants and not have consequences. He also sounds like mine in the sense that they both seem to be from the school of "learn things the hard way". If he gets his probation violated and has a consequence...that is on him and it was basically his choice to do things the hard way. I also completely understand about thinking he may be a lost cause. I feel the same way about my son. This past week he announced to the school that he was quitting but walked out before doing the paper work, came home, packed most of his stuff and walked out of here too. He's staying at a friend's so I'm not all that worried but I do have concerns. On the flip side though, the last few days have been wonderful. There's been no arguing, no being talked to like I'm dirt and stupid, no ME ME ME ME ME. Sending hugs though. It's not a fun situation but you're definately not alone. [/QUOTE]
