[QUOTE="slsh, post: 33045, member: 8"] Are you being too cold? Absolutely *not*. Please oh please, print out and put next to the phone your statement: [i]Really, this isn't about climbing Mt. Everest--all he has to do is watch his mouth, stop goofing in school, participate in group/individual counseling, and do a couple of chores.[/i] Seriously - is that asking too much? (Don't ask him!!!) Honestly, I just love the way our kids think sometimes. "To the benefit of the whole family." [img]:rofl:[/img] Oh my goodness... I do have to say it sounds like some of the groups are sinking in. He's spouting it well. Egads.... I think you're doing a *great* job of putting this squarely back on his shoulders, which is where it belongs. It's hard but you're sounding strong and sure. It also sounds like he *might* be getting that you're not going to rescue him anymore ("do this little thing for him" - do they pass out difficult child handbooks at birth and how do we get our hands on them??? This is just so like my beloved thank you). I think it's positive. [/QUOTE]
