[QUOTE="klmno, post: 325065, member: 3699"] I'm sure your nerves are shot under these circumstances and I can't offer better advice than the others have given. I wish I could. I will throw out one thing, though- I have heard from some parents of teen boys ITRW that it is typical for teen boys to go thru a stage of wanting to challenge or fight their father. Apparentlyy, they are unconsciously trying to be accepted (or viewed-) as a man instead of a boy by their father when they do this. I heard a couple of fathers say they solved the problem by arm wrestling or something else physical that wasn't really a fist fight and letting the teen win, bragging how strong he was, and so forth- without giving up the role as "parent". With your son being a difficult child, there's probably a lot more behind it than just trying to find his right of passage into manhood- or maybe it's that turned into "difficult child-ness".
