[QUOTE="Shari, post: 50900, member: 1848"] been there done that and sometimes hindsight is 20/20, however, once a line is drawn, the consequences established if the line is crossed HAVE to be upheld if you ever plan to hold any weight with your difficult child. Since your folks want him and your dad wants to help, is there anything he can do to "earn" the trip back? Something you know he can succeed at? It will get him to grandpa's without you giving in. Perhaps even set up some community service type jobs he could complete to earn the trip back. In the adult world, community service is a real "punishment" the courts use [/QUOTE]
