[QUOTE="Star*, post: 151207, member: 4964"] I had a thought - and was thinking about what I wrote you. And it occured to me to tell you and your husband - Your son is who he is, and he's going to behave how he wants. He's going to behave the way he does whether he is IN your home or IN a shelter, or IN a friends house. Until he decides to change the ONLY thing different about either having your son live with you or with someone else - is that there is a small chance he MAY behave better while living with someone else because at your home he KNOWS you expect him to behave a certain way and he is counting on that level of tolerance to continue living life on HIS terms and living his way under your roof. If he has to live somewhere else - he COULD make worse mistakes - sure. He COULD grow up a bit and start to become more responsible because the world out there isn't going to tolerate your kids like you do. THe only difference in not having our son live here with us in his behavior is that he's not doing it under our roof and he's not stressing us out to the point of divorce before we're even married.
