I told my son to leave again. After 24 hours. What am I doing wrong?

[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 660717, member: 11791"] The [I]rest of your lives[/I]? JMO here, but NO WAY. My kid is quite a bit younger than yours. And we are "dedicating our lives" to try to shape him as he continues to grow up. But we know that we only have about 5 years left in which to have any major influence, and even THAT is only because our kid happens to be at least marginally open to being "helped" - he's medications compliant, willing to SEE and talk to a therapist, and follows the basic rules of the house (although we keep them few and simple). Unless the person being helped is willing to BE helped... all you do is burn out trying to "help", and in the getting in the way of them figuring it out themselves. Sorry, M. Copa is right on this one. [/QUOTE]
