[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 227736, member: 6370"] Well, I tried very hard to treat difficult child 2 with respect and did a lot of the things Mr Matlem suggests, including finding mentors. Then, at age 16, difficult child met a hypersexual, manipulative druggie who informed him of his "rights" in the State of Maine, including his right to report me to CPS and consequently help endanger all the really abused kids in our community (husband testified in child abuse cases). She took him on a three year long rollercoaster ride. In a span of a few months both husband's parents were found dead at home, my mother was found dead at home after being talked into changing her will the day before she died. difficult child 2 tried to blackmail me into taking the girl into my home and mother her, DURING this conversation I got a call from abroad informing me that my three cousins had recently died. I put my head on the table and begged difficult child to reconsider his life choices because we had experienced so many losses. He said "I DON"T CARE ABOUT YOUR LOSSES", then had the nerve to demand a ride. I want to know where is the MUTUAL respect when a family is in such a position? We did everything we could to protect him and he only wanted to live a life of boundaryless sex, thieving, and drug filled adventure with an out of control gorgeous teen. We tried to get the law to impose consequences but were, once again, informed of the rights of difficult child 2 even though we were still legally liable for his behavior. Please don't feel bad about revealing your family's behavioral difficulties. Those who are wearing blinders will never create change. Tough love and the US Army helped our difficult child to understand that that girl had done him no favors. I'm sorry for your pain and turmoil; many warm and heartfelt hugs. [/QUOTE]
