[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 677253, member: 18516"] Very well done Penny, very well done!! Typical that a Difficult Child would try and use the truth against you. You have afforded him a chance and have let him live in your home. You have established clear boundaries. While past behavior can be a predictor of future behavior it's not set in stone. Until our Difficult Child realizes for themselves that their behavior holds true consequence they will always feel that we the parent are "holding it over their head" I don't blame you for crying. While you have set clear boundaries you still have opened yourself up. It can just be so draining emotionally trying to hold it all together. I think it's good you were able to release it through a good cry. It's also good that your son is starting to recognize that his behavior has a consequence. It's a starting point, baby steps. Again, past behavior may be a predictor of future behavior but it's not set in stone. Good. You gave him a clear time frame. I do hope he will respect it. Have you talked to him about what his plan is when that time comes? You might want to consider keeping this on the front burner and have a weekly chat with him about his progress on making plans for when the end of February gets here. Oh so true!! Penny, you are doing great. I am so impressed at well you are handling this. :bravo: [/QUOTE]
