[QUOTE="peg2, post: 59313, member: 2133"] Thanks to all, as soon as we can communicate a little, I will tell him(which I was planning on anyway) to prove everyone wrong, although he alreadyknows that because of his 2 older brothers, who are doing ok. To the poster in Australia, I am white, dad black, which is the root of the problem(not race) but dad abandoned him, so projects anger on me. My son definitely can't get a permit to drive, but that was my stip. with the other two. I do not pay for car ins. or maint. on car and their grandma has money in an acct. for college/car, whatever will help them succeed. His 19 y/o bro is just learning to drive now, I would not let him get his permit until he somewhat got himself together, he got his diploma from adult school and has now enrolled in comm. college for the fall, can get a car to drive himself there.My difficult child doesn't have money, says he needs clothes,complains about "not having any food in the house,etc." so I am providing bare minimum. Has a bike to go to friends all day,that's it. His older bro.(21) has explained to him to use that to find a job,etc. but he blows him off too. He just has to "see the light" and I will wait. Huge strain on marriage,but we work it out. I don;t want wilderness camp, it is just something I am checking out. I truly believe now he has to see things on his own. As far as doctors,etc. I can't get him to go anywhere and will not force a kid that age,so if something is wrong, he will have to find it out through his own free will. Thanks so much to all, I do appreciate it.My situation is minimal compared to most of you!!! [/QUOTE]
