[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62067, member: 1991"] Can he sit down and make his own list of choices he has? Options he could consider? because at the moment, he's running away, not to. He's wanting to get away from bio-dad and find a way he can do that, but he hasn't really given proper consideration of the to. He needs to sit down and look at EVERYTHING, including the legal picture for the adults he is interacting with. For example, if the courts think he's at bio-dad's, and you all know he's not, will the courts take you to task for letting him live wild? He's a kid, he's not really thinking ahead at all. as you said, he's got an attitude problem, not helped by his handling in the past. He needs to re-think and consider, maybe I CAN succeed despite all the nasty things that step-dad & bio-dad have said. He's got problems, not properly identified - they were doing better with treatment. There is support out there but he has to ask for it and be prepared to do his bit as well. His best chance is to understand that it is better to succeed - it is the best revenge on a society he perceives has already thrown him in the bin. If he would be prepared to sit down and let you help him make a PMI list (plus, minus, interesting) on his options, then at least whatever decision he makes, will be made with more thought and judgement. it can still be his decision, but a better informed one.
