[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 599809, member: 1550"] I think you are doing the right thing, but that doesn't make it the easy thing. However, I also think you are partially in denial as to how serious his behaviors are. He could be hurting your daughter in ways you don't want to think about. And, no, she wouldn't tell you. Been there. He sounds like he has traits of somebody who is antisocial and, if so (and of course I'm not sure), he would not have a conscience or much of one and will continue to use, manipulate, and hurt people. You didn't cause it. He has probably been tossed around a lot because of the over-the-top way he treats those who love him. He can't keep doing it. Especially to Little Sister. Think of that when you have to make hard choices. A boy who would even help do arson has a real dangerous streak and should not be living with a younger child.in my opinion you should have let him be charged. That's very dangerous...you don't want him to do it again. Sounds like your son is homeless due to his own choices and behaviors. Many have offered him shelter. I believe you are doing what you HAVE to do. But I would definitely get into therapy so you can not only stand strong, but go on with your own life. You deserve a happy, rich, fulfilling life regardless of what your son is doing to destroy is own. You are not him and you will learn, I hope, that there is life without difficult child doing well. Most of us have had to learn that hard lession. (((Hugs))). [/QUOTE]
