[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 13030, member: 1835"] Katmom, that's been THE most difficult part of raising my son for me--wondering whether he really could help himself and feeling that he couldn't. I've done everything you've done--made excuses for his behavior, blamed his friends, the school system, etc. I thought that, since he was so "high-strung," we needed to manipulate his enviroment to accommodate him and so protect him from failure. Of course, NOW, I realize what a mistake that was and how doing so contributed to his lack of understanding about cause and effect. Well, water under the bridge, but I'm really trying to put a stop to some of his rudeness to me, starting with the phone call the other night when I told him not to call if all he wanted to do was dump. It's tough... [/QUOTE]
