[QUOTE="NOLA, post: 59546, member: 3515"] I just read through this 4-page account of "A Day in the Life of McWeedy" [img]:reading:[/img] and devoured all of the very wise advice given. My actions (or inaction I should say) have pretty much landed my household in the same predicament & worse. The wheels have absoutely come off down here. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hot.gif[/img] Mikey - who am I to give advice but take it from a fellow "all words & no actions" type of parent - they are RIGHT. We need to get with the program. (Believe me, I know it's easier said than done) What <span style="color: #000099">meowbunny</span> said about the therapists is so true - they are, in my opinion, temporarily blinded by the polite, intelligent & deceptive facade our teens manage to muster up while in their presence - we KNOW better. I am in the same place you are - FURIOUS [img]:grrr:[/img] while living with this 16-year old ingrate, formerly known as my son. The point is we have every RIGHT to be - it's time to pull the rug out. Rehab treatment/wilderness camp, yes, if you can afford it, do it. by the way, down here in the 3rd world part of the country, a 16 y/o can check himself out of treatment UNLESS they are court ordered into in-patient. We will be obtaining that shortly. However, thanks to the parents here, in the meantime I have been given me a new sense of direction and much needed focus. I can't take my difficult children car away (he doesn't even drive yet) but I will certainly take away every other worldly 'thing' he enjoys because of my hard work. Thank you one and all.
