[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 653076, member: 805"] Terry, He is of the age where you can't force -- if you try and force him in, he won't talk. You can lead a horse to water....but you know all that due to personal experience! Fortunately for you, you have a lot of carrots -- you have the car, the cell phone, money...Since he's not working, anything he wants, including bus fare is on you. You set the rules. You have to be stronger with the consequence follow through. If he doesn't abide he's digging his own hole. You have done everything you possibly can for your son. Remember that these difficult children can wreak havoc on marriages. Time for a date night - no conversation about Difficult Child. You may not feel like it, but focus back on what will be left in the future. Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
