[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 126445, member: 1514"] Sorry you had to come back under such difficult circumstances but welcome back anyway. As a parent on the other side of the teen years I have to say I found the years from ohhh...13 to 16 or so....the hardest, most challenging, oppressive years I went through. I really thought I wouldnt live through them. I wanted to (kill him, trade him in, give him away, run away from home...pick one!) on a daily basis. I have always said I wouldnt go back to those years if they offered me a million bucks. On the upside...only 4 years until he is 18! But what a long 4 years they are. There really isnt a whole lot you can do if he is hell bent on destruction other than what you have been doing. Keep trying to get him help on the medical and educational front. If he wont use the tools you put in front of him then one day he can only blame himself. At 21 mine looks back and could kick himself for what he missed. Oh well...I tried, he didnt. It might do you a world of good to go to a therapist for yourself so you can vent your frustrations to a live person. That can be extremely cathartic. [/QUOTE]
