[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 719514, member: 13303"] Hi there and sorry you are going through this, You've already gotten some great suggestions from others. This is a very wise and caring group of people. You're in the right place. To add my two cents: I'm not sure how mental health care works in the military, if it's the same as civilians, but if so, I suggest taking these children to a psychologist, not just a school counselor but a psychologist with a PhD, for a full evaluation. Puberty has a way of igniting mental health issues which lie dormant until the hormones start rolling. It is encouraging that the boys are caring and loving with the younger child and the pets. Walking out of the house without permission is dangerous and illegal at 13. I agree with those who have suggested calling the police when they do this if for no other reason than to introduce another consequence which may be more meaningful for them. Who has legal custody, is it joint? Does mom intend to sign over full custody to their dad? [/QUOTE]
