[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 686083, member: 19966"] Colleen- One can be the best parent EVER & their child can/does still go down the wrong path. Try to be softer on yourself:). I haven't read all of your story, but after this new one...something became clear, in my opinion at least. Your older son seems almost stagnant. It seems as if he needs some motivation that he isn't feeling yet. A change. ;) It doesn't sound like you're ready to give him any real ultimatums...but in my opinion, I think he needs one (or 2). Also in my opinion, the younger one is being, has been more negatively affected by him, than may be apparent. I adore this saying by Anthony Robbins & text it to son often! "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." [/QUOTE]
