[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 58449, member: 3626"] First, what a beautiful name you have. I honestly had tears reading your reply. Many of our families are good at blaming us for our children's problems. That doesn't make it so. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone!!! Even God couldn't convince Adam and Eve to leave the fruit of knowledge alone. So, the best any of us can do is learn from our mistakes and, hopefully, not make that mistake again. Of course, we'll make new ones but that's one of the joys of being human. I have no doubt your son will be an unbearable monster when you put your foot down. You have to prepare yourself and make some plans about what you will do for his possible behavior. You've said he's destroyed your property in the past when he couldn't get his way. What will you do if he gets violent either to you or your property? Is calling the police an option? Is calling a family member that can truly stop him possible? Make those plans ahead of time. There is hope. It may not seem like it at times but our kids do grow and change. One day, your son may even thank you for forcing him to grow up. It won't be today or tomorrow and probably not in the near future, but one day it may just happen. [/QUOTE]
