[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760978, member: 15032"] Helpless I agree that your son is quite smart also. He is just trying to see what he can get away with maybe? I started to think that my son was going to live the life of a criminal. He was mentally unreachable. He shut us out. I also feel my son is very smart and was told he had above average intelligence when he was tested for an IEP (when I was trying to get him back into school when he got expelled for a bit of weed in a pipe in the boys bathroom sophomore year). I'm not saying he's genius material or whatever but he is no dummy. My husband is very very smart so he got his genes (LOL). I think it will "click" for him like it did for my son. He really HATED not being around his family and I feel strongly that is what finally made him change his ways. He realized he would not be in our lives and he did not want that. It took him many years to get to that realization unfortunately. If I had continued to unknowingly enable him, it all could have gone on for much longer I'm sure. He needed to get so SICK of making his life a mess that HE chose to change it. I was at that point years before him of course. Stick to your guns. [/QUOTE]
