[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 35125, member: 3450"] Hi Mike, just want you to know that I get it about the parent/child relationship being dead--that is what happened in our family. My dtr would not recognize our authority over her and she also would not recognize anyone else's, including police, probation officer, teachers, etc. You are right, it doesn't do any good to come from an authoritarian position in this situation, just doesn't work. I think it is very positive that your son is actually responding to your different approach, my dtr was beyond responding to anything! Now that she is on her own though she actually seems to see me as a parent--will ask for advice and seems to even consider it! I do see where you are coming from and hope it will work out--glad you have the other options in your back pocket though. --Jane [/QUOTE]
