[QUOTE="Lilac mom, post: 693540, member: 20503"] Wha....??! Am I missing something? My son does not have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), I AM his birth mother (never did drugs or alcohol during pregnancy) and he [U]DOES[/U] have a substance abuse disorder (pot). Maybe my post was confusing or you are referring to someone else. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding. Pracepta, did you mean an assertiveness training class for me? I feel like I AM assertive with him. Well, I try to be. Let me give you an example of his behavior so you will better understand what I deal with. We are doing a family therapy program 1x per week as a result of son's truancy. Son "burns" his finger in wood shop on one of the little tools they use. He texts me that he needs to be picked up. I say no, run it under cold water and go see the nurse if you need salve or something. He proceeds to text me [U]76 [/U]times (I counted, and I'm not exagerating, I swear) trying to get me to pick him up from school. I did not get him until school was out. His finger was fine, just a very tiny little blister. He eventually apologized for the 76 text freak out. What I'm trying to illustrate here is how extreme he is when he doesn't get what he wants. I'm sure I've created a monster by giving in to him over the years so that now he feels like I will give in, and now I'm paying a price for it. Boy am I ever! :( [/QUOTE]
