[QUOTE="Jena, post: 385950, member: 4514"] hi! I"m so sorry 17 year old's that are ****** off can be a nitemare like nothing else. How long ago did you divorce if you dont' mind me asking? is he still dealing with-that issue? It sounds like he might be still processing angry over it maybe and acting out and going after you! I have with-my own 17 year old who less than a year ago gave me a serious run for my money i called the cops 3x in one day because the little witch kept running away. She also stole from me. I got a lock and put it on my bedroom door. Each time he does not come home on curfew utilize your police and call them. that's it, dont' think about it, or get upset just make yourself a cup of tea take a deep breath and make the call. Each and everytime you have to be consistent with-it. He'll get the message that your drawing your boundary lines with-o having to actually yell or threaten to take anything away from him. As far as the pot goes, it's so hard to control kids when they've found a way to self medicate. Is he just using it during day or do you notice the usage later in the day before heading home? i'd take him to a pyschiatrist and for now get some medications into him. He also is exhibiting signs of depression. I know doesnt' seem like it right? yet kids present in such a different way i've come to learn just from dealing with-my two kids. You can think their just being defiant when their actually depressed. As far as school goes, if he doesnt' show up or he cuts let them take whatever necessary steps they can on their end detention, afternoon pm's, in school suspensions. you can't handle everything right now. you gotta take care of your home base. he was diagnosis'd with executive functioning skills i just saw? they come up with-anything else?? and you shouldn't have to deal with-the name calling at all.
