[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 353676, member: 805"] k, the thing about trust is that you have it until something causes you to loose it. If there is a good track record, trust is there. If there are constant lies, it's gone. It's tough to get trust back. In your case, I don't think you can trust difficult child as far as you could throw him. Add to that that he is not a typical teen. He is manipulating the heck out of you. And I think you are right in your observation about why you are so frustrated. Add to that that he has been offered a chance to make a change and throws it away at every turn. The PO was thinking about letting him off house arrest early despite his continued disregard of the rules. He has been given a mentor to work things out, and there's a pretty good chance he is manipulating him as well. In regards to him getting on your computer to look at porn, I don't understand why he still has access. He did this within 12 hours of being home. We urged you to disconnect at night, take the keyboard, or set your computer for no internet access during certain hours. If he can get away with it, he will. If he didn't go on this field trip this morning, find out what he used the cash for and then don't give him any more - period. You can supply all his needs - he doesn't need any cash. Your boy can't be trusted. I understand your frustration. Sharon [/QUOTE]
