[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 524382, member: 14356"] Thank you again everyone for your support. He is definitely being cold and manipulative right now. I have had no phone call, no email from him all weekend. And I know he's been online because he was posting on my daughters FB off and on yesterday. Busy busy weekend when you sleep till early afternoon and then spend the rest of the day surfing the internet. Too busy to call your mother - but whatever. I'll be interested to see what happens with the student welfare people. Not sure if he will get welfare or not. He's a smart kid and I know why he asked if we would support him if he chose not to come home. If we kick him out we might be forced to support him but if he chooses not to come home we don't have to. Welfare will require us to be part of the process of him getting welfare - which would mean he doesn't qualify.... unless he convinces everyone that we are abusive parents and then they won't even contact us. I'm sure he's researched this online (probably on one of the days he skipped school). I swear if this kid follows this route and causes problems with Children's Aid for us with our easy child (13) I don't know how I'll forgive him. We have never been abusive parents. Of course, he feels like he can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants and we're just supposed to roll over and let him do it. And he's living at Club medication at his girlfriends place. They skipped school (missed the bus) on Wednesday and stayed home together alone all day. Then the mother came home from work, drove them into town to meet their friends and gave them both money for dinner. Ugh! Great advice from all of you. I will print the emails off. I have been keeping running documentation of everything that has been happening as well. And maybe, I'll just change my signature to 'ambiguously yours', Mom. LOL. I could spend some time coming up with some fun ones, I'm sure. Any ideas??? :) [/QUOTE]
