[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 708031, member: 13303"] I think it's too simple to point the finger at parenting when kids go bad. In my opinion, it's a combination of nature, nurture and temperament. The one thing I will say is that often parents don't take the strong measures needed to protect their own sanity and the other children who are impacted by our troubled children's actions. I note that your co-parent is also very weak, this is also the case with my stepsons' father and perhaps wrongly, I lay much of the blame for their deterioration/downfall on him. I need to detach from this situation, there is nothing I can do but support my wife. [/QUOTE]
