[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 59861, member: 1514"] Mikey, I havent responded to your post before because I really didnt know what to say to you. I know how hard it is to stand back and watch these kids self destruct. I have fought hard and put up all the road blocks imaginable for mine and it really didnt do one whit of good. Mine spent most of his teen years in some form of inpatient care facility away from home be it a group home, wilderness camp, psychiatric hospital or Residential Treatment Center (RTC). One thing we were told is that until they are 18 nothing belongs to them even if they bought it themselves from wages they earned because the actual wages they earn really belong to the PARENTS! Cute lil bit of info. So you can take away his computer and his Ipod. You can lock up his car and his cell phone. I havent provided more than the basics for mine in so many years its not funny. I dont know if I would take away the computer or not. I know I would take away the car simply because of the danger involved in driving under the influence. That scares the bejeebers out of me. I could live with almost anything but my kid having a car wreck where he was killed or killed someone else and I could have prevented it by taking the car. I would make driving difficult. [/QUOTE]
