[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 318599, member: 1514"] I dont know your son so I really cant give any insight that can be completely accurate. If the professionals believe this is manipulation, I would take them at their word. These kids can do manipulation so well. I know I did it and I know Cory did and still does it. It is horrible to watch. There is really not much you can do but ride it out and wait for him to come to the conclusion that he is not going to win this war. Its a bit like a two year olds tantrum. If you give in every time they throw down on the floor, then they learn that it works. Matt is trying every trick he every learned to attempt to get his way. Eventually he will realize they arent working. Then he will start using the tools he has been taught and start on an upward path again. It just takes time. I hate to use the term of breaking them but in reality that is what has to happen. Its like training wild mustangs. Our kids cant run wild in society because there are rules out there that they have to comply with. It isnt the wild west anymore where they could go off and live off the land completely alone. They were born in the wrong time. I think years and years ago, our kids may have been able to just be themselves and be ok. They would have worked so hard tending a huge plot of land, they wouldnt have been in trouble. Or they would have been famous bank robbers...lol. [/QUOTE]
