[QUOTE="NOLA, post: 152104, member: 3515"] Hi - I had to just say hello & let you know you are def not alone. We are also going through the same thing :knockedout:only ours won't be 18 till Dec. Our son doesn't believe in getting an education - it's just not very important right now! I also had to laugh (something I haven't done much lately) when I saw: Unbelievable! Our son used to do the same, bring home tons of apps but never fill out or even hide them & pretend he did - He was given some real basic tasks to complete after his return home (he ran away for 6 months) get his GED, serve 20 hours of community service, keep a part-time job, and NO DRUGS. He had 2 months to show us and the judge he could and would clean his act up. He did get his old job back but NOT to everything else - so he goes back to court, is now sitting in juvie & the judge has ordered him to complete 'in-patient' rehab/therapy - now, he's telling me he WILL NOT go - it's not necessary, we are all overreacting, are crazy, etc. His 15 days are up later this week & I have basically come to the realization he doesn't want our help & advice - he wants to learn the hard way. I have told his PO what he said to me on the phone and that he has no intentions of obeying his parents or the judge. Knowing our difficult child, he'll probably decide to stay in juvie just to prove the fact that he will not bow to our silly rules. Hang in there ..Ill keep on trying too :peaceout: [/QUOTE]
