[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 459029, member: 3710"] Thank you so much for all your advice from your experience with other difficult child's. I was really hoping that our difficult child could just stay in school for the next 9 months so that he can graduate from HS. We have been trying to give him therapy and support so that he can just stay in school and graduate. But just this week he skipped school for one day, and then he was caught with the legal weed in his backpack and was suspended for the rest of the week. He is coming home on Friday, and he will probably be on his best behavior for a few days. But it seems like he tries very hard to make good choices for a few days, and then he falls apart and gets in trouble. This is a pattern for difficult child, and I don't know how it will change. We have tried all kinds of contracts with him, but he usually breaks them and then we all get mad and ground him and then we give up on the contract. This situation is making my husband depressed and he says that our difficult child has ruined his life and finances and he insists that our difficult child must get out of our house. Our difficult child will listen to the psychologist when he is in the office, but then he does whatever he wants when he is with his friends. I think that we should all talk to the psychologist about this situation first. We have an appointment next Monday with the psy, but it will be a long week-end with difficult child at home. difficult child does not want to take any responsibility for his behavior, and he blames us for all this problems. In his warped mind he is the victim of very mean parents, and that is what he is probably telling everybody. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experiences.
