[QUOTE="Steely, post: 91112, member: 3301"] Marg, I think you hit the nail on the head. That is exactly why I think he does it. It is his fear of failure. And I appreciate you offering me insight into my son, rather than judging him. Kitty, really not so funny - in fact that felt almost as insensitive as something my kid would have said. :frown: I really believe he would do something like that, like pop off a racial remark, in the middle of a gang! He is afraid of nothing. So DaisyLover, "backhanding" him, or Kitty, placing him in a racially fused situation, someone would only wind up injured. And he would probably do it over and over, just to prove something. And that is what keeps me up at night, and my concern that fueled this post. As horrible as this sounds......he is still a difficult child...........not just a teenager. He is borderline AS, has bi-polar, and sees the world a bit sku-d. He is not just angry, but looking to use his anger as a way up in the world. And that deeply concerns me. Not so much what he says, but that he is coping so inadequately. I will take you guys advice and consistently refuse to participate in it in any way form, or fashion and see where that takes us. I guess, I am just having a really hard time. He is still my child, and these actions still grieve me. Even if it sounds like he is the most horrible kid in the world, I still love him very very much. I feel, too often, like people judge me, him, my parenting. It is a horrible burden to bear, that I cannot seem to shake, even when posting here. Perhaps because I feel like I have failed........in every way......as his mom. [/QUOTE]
