[QUOTE="nuone, post: 302947, member: 6772"] Think it is extremely unreasonable of him to assume that you will let the disregard of his probation terms slide in order to get him through education. It is not fair to put you in this position. Let him know that he is testing those in authority, not you, and that they will decide his fate, that you will not be part of his choices and that you will stand by your duty i.e. reporting the flagrant disregard to the rules, and that if he cannot abide by them in a good surrounding with opportunities to his benefit, then he should expect to be in a place that is not to his liking. Defiance is such a strong trait and you should not persecute yourself with guilt for standing by your morals. Psyche doctor once told me that we parents that give in to these children are not helping them. I understand only too well that it is a really hard situation to be in, and hope this helps some. Lots of hugs and strength to you to get through this difficult patch. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
