[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 719738, member: 1233"] I would not go through those years of my difficult child's life again if you paid me a billion dollars. I could not handle my son in our home either. I had it all arranged for my son to go to a boy's home and then my parents wanted to try to turn him around. So I let them. None of us know what they did, other than not strangle him. Someone we are 12 years later and he is a joy and a delight. So it can get better. Let someone else do the heavy lifting. Let him see that you are not the only one with the unreasonable demands that he take a shower when he stinks and that he take his dishes to the kitchen and that he do a few basic chores, and that thinks saying "good morning" is not child abuse. Or that thinks taking drugs is not socially acceptable or healthy. Take the time to get some therapy, to try a new hobby, to recharge your batteries and to learn to sleep through the night again. Rest and let someone else do the work. It doesn't mean you love him any less. Trust me, I know. [/QUOTE]
