[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 734163, member: 22819"] My mom is only a temporary option because she is emotionally unstable. I'm pretty sure she is bipolar, but refuses to get diagnosed. That said, if we find no other options, I might have to let him stay with her. I might have to just let go and let them figure out life with their disorders, together. There is no one else in the house with them. The doctors are so frickin sure that he won't do anything to her, AND they are saying that I shouldn't be associating the mj with his violent behavior, even though it was in his system the 3 times he cracked hub's head open, and he has never been that violent when it wasn't in his system. It's soooo frustrating. It seems so obvious to us. But they want to convince us that it's the family dynamic, the place where we live, homeschooling, our unconventional lifestyle, and his "conduct disorder". And it might well be a lot to do with all of that (even though he was a happy child in the same environment and lifestyle we have now), but there is definitely a relation between the violence and the smoking. When I insist, they say things like "don't ask for our opinions if you're not going to take them". I'm trying to have a conversation, together, to figure out what is best for my son and what is really going on with him. No, we definitely are not people who instill these qualities in our sons. We gave them all the love, all the support, all the chances, all the education... For now, my mom is going to try to get him to start going to a gym near her house. She says she's going to go with him, but that won't last. She's a smoker and a procrastinator. I give it a week before she starts letting him go on his own. We will see what happens then. [/QUOTE]
