[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 8303, member: 3353"] Welcome, Angels R Us (cute name!) I agree with Witz on this one. It does no one any good for us to sympathize with (or listen to) the kids when they begin making the kinds of choices that lead to one hurtful consequence after another. It sometimes seems to me that we are punished right along with the kids, though we have not had a choice about the behaviors. We all teach our children not to do the things our difficult children do routinely. When the child is determined to go a wrong way, we blame ourselves. And we suffer. Instead of focusing on your son, try to use this time to make yourself stronger and healthier. Anything you can do to break the chain of thought will help. A hot bath, a movie ~ anything. If your son is refusing to accept responsibility for having done something wrong...that does not bode well. Maybe you could ask how he expects to change things if he refuses to acknowledge he has done anything wrong? Wishing you well, Angels. Barbara [/QUOTE]
