[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359220, member: 1233"] Would he stay home if you let him have X cigarettes a day? The way Linda is doing with kt? I do think the behavior is over the top and making bongs to smoke tobacco is just plain strange. Cigarettes are easy to smoke. If the filter is a problem they can be pinched off. Why the bong unless it is just an "in your face" thing to upset you? in my humble opinion the bong is to try to make you worry. The whole situation is confusing and I hope you can get some legal advice on the whole thing. Advice to protect YOU and to help YOU navigate the system. Because the system is NOT geared to help anyone and is largely set up to punish parents. Would letting him smoke cigarettes help or just move the boundary he has to push at? If my parents had let my bro smoke X cigarettes a day it would be his clue to push the number, and to smoke pot and other things. Not that I ever smoked back then, but if I had wanted to and they had let me smoke X cigs, it would be a limit that I would stick to. Difference between gfgbro and me. I am not sure which camp your difficult child is in, but I think it is the boundary pushing one. So this is probably a futile suggestion. Just in case I thought I would mention it. I really am sorry for the entire idiotic situation. I wish I could fix it. Taking difficult child to a psychiatrist might help, but chances are he would fight it and lie to the doctor about everything. He seems to want to upset you as much as he can. But if he won't work with the psychiatrist then it would be a waste of money, time and effort. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
