[QUOTE="Fran, post: 297559, member: 3"] stang, this is going to be a battle you aren't going to win. Does he have a plan what he will do when he graduates? if he graduates? In true difficult child family dynamics, mom(me too) want graduation more than difficult child does. His choices are school by the rules, drop out and get full time work or GED. It might be time to think about the whole disengaging thing. I told difficult child after the first post high school program that I will [I]never ever[/I] make or push him to another class. It was torture for him and for me and nothing ever came from it. He was shocked that I gave up. It was a bit of a light bulb moment. He had fought us for so long and now there was no one to fight with. Typical kids will party or hang out then get bored but difficult child's tend to sit around spinning their wheels and blaming their parents for their miserable lives. LOL. I got lots of those calls too so I feel your frustration. [/QUOTE]
