[QUOTE="profchaos71, post: 258282, member: 7100"] Thank you all for your comments and advice. My son has seen more than one therapist and the last one is the one that said aspergers. I think part of this is due to aspergers but some of the attitude comes from basically being babied his whole life by the mom. It's not so much that i cant except it,but that since we dont live close and dont see each other enough i have trouble dealing with his issues.Mostly because i understand that he needs someone to keep him on track daily and thats not fun for either of us!The last thing i want is for him to not want to come see me because dad is too strict.See his mom was married to a good guy for 7 years and my boy wasnt this bad.But mom ruined the marraige and now they are divorced as of a year and a half ago.Since then they are shuttled back and forth(he has siblings) every week to two different houses with two sets of rules.Step dad is on top of things,mom is self involved and more lenient. Myself, i was never really there like i should have been and honestly i struggle with emotion and empathy on top of that. To add more fuel to the fire,the step dad has already remarried and for the first time ever my son is also having to share me with my new daughter and my girlfriend. In reality, i think i understand him more than mom or anyone because i see alot of me in him which is why i actually want him to live with me full time.He needs someone checking his homework and making sure he showers and gets excercise and gets out and does stuff every week,not just every other week. I know the problems i had with school work etc. and i know that the only thing that would have made it better was constant help and supervision.I dont care if my boy isnt an athlete or whatever else.I just want him to graduate highschool and be able to work a job and have a functional life. I am now considering moving close to him and seeking someone to talk to about coping with this issue. [/QUOTE]
