[QUOTE="KFld, post: 58891, member: 2442"] WOW! You catch on quick [img]:smile:[/img] I agree there has been no reaction because he probably doesn't believe it will continue this way. Expect some real anger and manipulation once he figures it out, but that is even more reason to put a plan in place as to how you will react, and then stick to it. Once you start this, if you go back on it, he will never believe you will follow through. Just keep giving him reason to believe it and let him know that he is old enough to begin to make his choices and you will be there to support him when he's ready to make positive ones. That is called detatching with love. let me know you love him with all your heart, but you cannot enable him any longer, or watch him destroy his life any longer. [/QUOTE]
