[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678469, member: 18958"] Me too. I am a single parent and everything was peachy until teen years. I think that Bee and her son may live out of the States (Canada?) With different educational options. But there must also be responsibility of the school district to educate him, and to transport him, if necessary. Putting aside mental illness diagnoses (how can you, really) it is harder for sons of single mom's to separate just as it is harder for single mom's of son's to keep control. I think there is really a lot of love there, and they need to pull away, to be men. So some of the anger that is directed towards us, is a means for them to reject us, to emancipate. There is a Mom on this board who was not a single Mom, but very loving and lovable. In a sense she had the same kind of dynamic. I was very flexible. Too flexible. I just did not have the skill set to get control--when he started to fight me. I still have trouble if the truth be told. COPA [/QUOTE]
