[QUOTE="Fran, post: 382121, member: 3"] Sounds detached and a little depressed. Not unusual for us warrior moms. I know about not responding to another complaint or observation of behavior. What more is there to say? I got to the point that if I had to call the police, I would. Natural consequences. Earlier on I would have been mortified to even think that direction but you get to where there is nothing left to feel bad about and to just survive day to day. If it meant police, psychiatric hospital, anything so that he was dealt with. Nothing I was doing was working. I don't say I threw in the towel because when there was some change in behavior I was just ecstatic for his success. For the most part I resigned myself to having not had success in helping difficult child and I became pretty disinterested. I'm still only partially invested. If it works great, if not, I think "oh well, we tried". Hope difficult child settles down soon. I'm surprised that easy child/difficult child is still being such an oppositional teen. [/QUOTE]
