[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 652894, member: 805"] "When my son's lips are moving, I assume he is lying" :crazy2: Part of me agrees with SWOT in that you need to back down a little and not be so active in his "stuff", but I totally understand the need to intervene. I know that with my son (who is a year ahead of yours), I took the step the summer between his junior and senior year to "let him be". I stopped being so involved in his school and social life (not that his social life was near as active as your sons). I figured the mistakes he made would be the lessons he would take towards his independence. If he messed up along the way, it was better he did it while he was here at home than living on his own 'cause I would be here if he needed me. And he did do some messing up... Our kids are all so different and what works for one usually doesn't work for another! Having said that, I know this is an incredibly difficult time with so many recent Difficult Child challenges. Hang in there mom! Sharon [/QUOTE]
