[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 669771, member: 3419"] I talked to Job Corps. He has to be street-drug free. That's going to be tough. Also, husband took away his phone in the middle of the night, but did not discuss the reasons with him when he woke up this a.m. Difficult Child wandered around for an hr looking for the phone. I sat down and talked to him. Now he won't go to school with-o his phone. He feels insecure without it. I'm trying to get him to do makeup work at home until he calms down. I don't want a scene. He's never going to graduate. If he won't willingly do the work, I won't force the issue. Kathy813, your daughter is 30 now. My son is 18 going on 8. What turned her around, other than you letting go? Did you kick her out? We talked to our lawyer yesterday. He did not like the idea of kicking him out, although he said he wasn't sure why the school system was being so stubborn about insisting that he is our responsibility so he is going to research it. He suggested waiting until Difficult Child steals again or aggressively confronts me and then we call 911, and then having a police ofcr take him in. That way we can get Difficult Child into whatever program we want, instead of going to jail. We'll see how it pans out. I have to remember to say "mental health crisis" instead of simple assault so they send the right officers. I hope I remember when I'm in the thick of it. Meanwhile, Difficult Child took a shower today for the first time in nearly 2 wks. I am very thankful. My nose is thankful. :disgusted::annoyed: [/QUOTE]
