[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 429147, member: 4264"] My gut says dont' cosign anything, natural consequences for past mistakes, good reminder what they need to do now to make up for the mistakes. Then the mom in me says, cosign with conditions. Then the brains side of me says, what conditions? In the end, its you on the hook if he screws this up. Then I move on to removal from emotion and think rationally lol. I think it depends altogether on YOUR difficult child, him as a person, where he is at, not just a mix of his history but also his innate character mixed in with what he's been doing lately and is it seeming "real" or just to pacify others. A kid truly trying hard to get his life on track who I know to be good at heart and anxious for a chance to be a functioning and healthy adult? I'd cosign. Otherwise? probably not. [/QUOTE]
