[QUOTE="Star*, post: 99921, member: 4964"] After doing all this if he doesn't straighten his butt up then I feel I have done everything possible for him. If he gets in trouble again I will love him through it but I will not "bail" him out of it. Write that down and paste in on your bathroom mirror to look at EVERY day so that you gain strength in your own wisdom. One of the hardest things to do in life is to let our children fail. We haven't failed them when we allow this natural process to occur. Rather we make ourselves unavailable for more heartache and set an example for our children as to what behaviors will and won't be tolerated. I'm not sure what the definition of parenting a 12 and older kid is - but after surviving it all? I think that is a pretty good explanation - if to no one other than myself. I'm sorry you are aging so rapidly - I have found that a lot of prayer and a little anti anxiety medicine help. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
