[QUOTE="Mattie, post: 635145, member: 18360"] I appreciate the reply. I will look in to Al Anon. When I was at my wit's end with my son 3 years ago I sent him to live with his father in Reno, Nevada. That did not work so well. He ended up running away there and stayed gone for a month. No one informed me about it and eventually his dad got fed up and just stuck him on a plane. When he got here, he started his stuff again and got in trouble with the law. My husband is a great man, but he is strict and controlling. More so when they were younger. He has lightened up since then. I have always been the more lenient one. We have had to learn together and balance things out but most important to stand together as a team. That has not always been easy. My son has a good life here. I don't understand. I have three other children. One was just like him for a while but becoming a mother at 17 completely turned her life around. It was a blessing in disguised. Albeit she is still stubborn. THe other two are great. Never had issues like this. As for the texting, He has a pre-paid phone and I have no idea when his month is up. We have him on our contract as well but he has gone through three phones in a year and I simply couldn't keep buying him phones. He bought this pre-paid out of his own money. As for getting treatment, we have had him in counseling for years. He is very good at lying. He is also ADHD. Very charming smooth talker. Very easy going and easy on the eyes too. He knows how to get what he wants. Yes, I am worried. Mostly at night I worry the most. It is very difficult as you know. He had such big dreams. We even put him in The Wil Lou Grey Opportunity School and it had no effect. This is a lesson he has to learn the hard way I guess. [/QUOTE]
