[QUOTE="Fran, post: 151458, member: 3"] mustang sounds like you have a plan and services. This is an entirely different scenario of handing a 17yr old who functions as a 13yr old a garbage bag full of his things and slamming the door. He has options. My difficult child won't mostly because he can't. He can't project forward enough to see there are reasons why we have certain expectations. I know your difficult child is not my difficult child. I'm just saying to step back and ask yourself what is your goal with raising your child? What does he do or not do to achieve these goals? What are the choices as a parent? What are his choices as a teen? Tough love is appropriate for some and not appropriate for others. [/QUOTE]
