[QUOTE="KFld, post: 22255, member: 2442"] You definatley see what he is doing and agree that it's wrong, not following the rules and doing to get, but you get stuck on how to react, which is normal for a parent who has a manipulative child. I know my difficult child can be extremely manipulative and it took tons, and I mean tons of practice to learn how to react and respond in a way to get the point across and not enable a situation. I think you need to tell him you love him with all your heart, you miss him, but since he isn't following the rules, you can't see him until he earns the priviledge of seeing you. If you don't do that the easy child asks, then he will get terminated from the program and come home, to what, the same thing he left and that will not be good for any of you. I hope this all works out and he see's the light and does what he needs too. The wanting to be the center of attention reminds me so much of my difficult child when he was younger, but the funny thing is now that he's older, he hates to be the center of any attention.
