[QUOTE="ppye, post: 511788, member: 14078"] Where do I begin? 4 years ago we had a son that went from passing to failing, having over 80 write ups in school, etc. My son is intelligent, good looking and has a heart of gold but he's lost site of everything. Over the last 4 years, his father and I (who are not together but still good friends and we work together for our son)-have had to deal with constant calls from the school, write ups, detention, and more. He has no respect for authority or his parents, he wants to do what he wants to do and does not care about consequences. We have taken him to Social Workers, Pyschiatrist, Therapist, Pyscho-Therapist, been to parenting classes, spent over $30,000 sending him to a Drug Rehab (from the Dr. Phil Show). He stopped smoking for 30 days (pot) but came home with peireced ears and smoking cigarettes. I had sugery 30 days ago -he stole my pain medication, he takes money, most recently his dads ring that he received from work (after 25 yrs) came up missing... so, his dad told him to leave. Now, he is 16-going on 17 in September living with a friend (who is just like him) ... What do we do ??? We are out of money and have no idea what to do anymore... Do we let him run the streets ? Will we get in trouble since he is 16 years old??? It kills me to see my friends kids (happy, going to school, sports and the dances) .. What did we do wrong?? What can we do ??? Please --any advice is appreciated .. I would like to put him in Military school but no money ??????? Thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
