[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 606134, member: 13542"] Welcome back. Yup, sounds like difficult child behavior all right. Well, my first response, which may or may not be the "right" thing to do is that since he is young, does have issues, is not exactly medication compliant and is possibly about to throw his education away.............I might help him through this one with very clear and very strict rules that this is the LAST time, from here on out, if he blows it, then his education, job, housing, phone, all of it, will be gone. You may have already been there done that, in which case letting go at this point would also be a viable option. I know how difficult it is to let them throw opportunities away and yet there does come a point where we have to detach from them. I am not certain this is that point for you, but in your heart of hearts, you likely know the answer to that. Detaching is all over the place and only the parents know that moment when it all comes together and we know we've done everything we can and now we have to let go. Good luck, these decisions are challenging............there is no right or wrong, only what you believe to be the best possible solution. [/QUOTE]
