[QUOTE="parentalert1, post: 473052, member: 13071"] Thank you. I am knew to this site and still learning how to use it. I have done everything and I know my son knows that I love him and I have done it all. I have been a good mother. With that being said it rally doesnt' matter how good of a parent you are or how involved you are your kids will still make their choices. I am trying to do this Tough love and it's so hard for me. It's like I am the one constantley being punsihed. They do have programs out here in Southern Orange County like Pryde Program. It's like an intervention. He is on the waiting list, but the issue is he refuses to particiapte in anything. He had made is clear that he will smoke pot and drop out of school. If I don't fight for him who will? I feel like i have to push him to at least gradute. He came to me and said one of his teachers told him why are you even here at school, you don't do any work, you might as well work fulltime at least you will be doing something. That is sad but I can imagine what that teacher puts up with. I live in fear everyday, I'm scared when the phone rings, not knowing what it's going to be now. I have even written Dr. Phil. I can only keep praying. I am slowly loosing my faith, hope. As a mother this is heart breaking. I have read some other stories on this site and it breaks my heart. My life is miserable, stressful, sad and I can't change it. [/QUOTE]
