[QUOTE="username40, post: 729227, member: 22862"] Anyone just throw in the towel and let him/her just do whatever they wanted? I'm pretty much at that point, because any attempt to straighten him out he ups the ante, more CPS investigators, more social workers, more police calls to the home. Last time he ran away to California, if he feels the pressure maybe he'll hurt himself or someone else? Maybe he'll lie to social services to get me arrested and my other children taken? At this point it's about payback for him. I wouldn't put anything past him. If I let him do drugs, cut school, stay out all night and for days at a time, drink, not lift a finger to do anything in the house he'll likely be out of our hair until he's 18. When he turns 18 he swears he's moving out (going to California, he has this idea that it's paradise). I don't know, I'm just so torn on what to do. Do I keep trying with this kid and risk his wrath and revenge schemes that could get my other two taken? Or just let him crash and burn? [/QUOTE]
