[QUOTE="Shari, post: 121813, member: 1848"] This age is so hard. I just walked this line with my difficult child 1. Lucky for me he went into the military, where his future is questionable, but for now, he's basically kept under lock and key 24 hours a day at least 5 days a week... But getting him there took every ounce I had. Had he not been going into the service, I'd have called the police on him myself and turned him in. And he sure wouldn't have been living in my house. Looking back, I should have anyway, but it would have ruined his shot at the military, and what is, best I can see, his one shot at a future. For me, my difficult child was so disrespectful, hateful, full of attitude and defiance, I was not only releived when he was gone, I was HAPPY. I don't think there's anything you can do to change that attitude. Its one thing if they're compliant and want us to help them live the best life they can - its a whole other ballgame when they don't. At this age, until he wants help, there's nothing more you can do. [/QUOTE]
