[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 521984, member: 13558"] Yes there will be many more battles. There are so many lost difficult child's that hang out from house to house. They get run off from one and they move to another. I would wake up with a stranger on my couch. He even tried to move a girl (someone elses girl friend) in the house without my permission. I called the mother and said you come pick her up or I'll call the police. His friend drove her to the mothers. But that was not the last one he tried to move in. I did not allow my difficult child's friends to come over when I was not at home, of course they still did! I got tired of buying soft drinks, snacks, and groceries that disappeared in one day. So I stopped buying them, I bought peanut butter, jelly, and bread. No soft drinks or even bottled water. My phone bill came in and I had a lot of long distance calls that I did not make, he denied they were his. So I cancelled my carrier and they could only make local calls. Same with the cable. At about 19 I was tired of everything along with his and his friends stealing so I told him he had to go. My difficult child always worked, but he spent it as fast as he earned it. Until age 21 it seems they can go either way, many of his friends became responsible young adults. Mine fought it tooth and nail! I think the idea of being responsible for himself scares him. Stay strong! Prayers for the best! [/QUOTE]
