[QUOTE="Beanner, post: 719353, member: 22275"] My son has gone from a 3.7 GA to a 1.4. This school year he has done zero school work. I know he is suppose to pull away. I am not saying that I expected our relationship would be the same as when he was younger. I am saying that I didn't think that while on summer vacation in the Bahamas I would have to beg him to leave the condo to do something( anything with or without me or his dad) couldn't get him to horse ride, jet ski swim....somehow it seems that she has him convinced you shouldn't do anything with your parents. What I mean by a good relationship is I never would have thought he thought I wasn't on his side,or his biggest supporter. I never would have thought he thought I disciplined him to "just have power over him". By discipline I mean shutting his phone off until all homework is done...... today though since it has been a couple days since the family session I realized that maybe he just needs to be angry with me. Maybe he needs to think/say those things so he can grow in someway. [/QUOTE]
