[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 719358, member: 1550"] The way he talks about you is in my opinion purely manipulation so that you will feel guilty ever disciplining him or setting reasonable house rules. You have every right to set boundaries with consequences for him if he breaks your house rules. Although I have no doubt girlfriend influences your son, that is not in my opinion the whole thing. Your son chooses to change from a good son to what he is now. Drugs? None of us really know what our teens do when they are not with us or what makes them change if they do. Teens do not have to lash out meanly at parents to grow up. I have four grown kids...only one lashed out, although in a different way. It does happen, but more often with teens headed in the wrong direction. It is definitely not all teenagers. Your son has no right to talk abusively to you.And you have every right to hand out consequences if he does. Even though he will continue to twist normal consequences into a horrific control grab from you. He is still a kid. That is nonsense talk. [/QUOTE]
