So, I felt I should update you all. My son got a job!!!!! He got it all on his own. He is going on his 2nd week of going. I have been going to therapy. It has helped me back off. I am working on me. I am making myself happy. Through therapy I have realized I focus to much on my...

I'm trying to be stronger to help my kids.

I just keep trying to be positive with him. Trying the old all kids want attention negative or positive approach. Yesterday we all went out as a family for my youngest daughters birthday. He was there. He actually was nice to her. They are 10 years apart would never think he would hate his...

Another update I won!!!! Consequences work I went in his room tonight and said firmly " here's the thing you live in my home. I need this room cleaned by midnight. If your room is not clean by midnight you will lose your phone privileges." I told him I was serious. If he wants to test me he...

Update: I haven't been on here for awhile. I have been trying desperately to work on me. My sons birthday was on the 2nd. He had another hicup and purchased another item from our account. After extensive research he did the transaction prior to my husband and I finally making consequences...

Thank you... We have told him as of now if we say it he just has to do it...no questions asked...just do it. He is doing everything we have told him. Except clean his room..... That will be put on the rule board for both kids rooms must be clean. Thank you for all the support advice and just...

Update: My husband and I are going to work on rules and consequences if not followed. I don't know if I can put a consequence as jail because I don't know if I am able to follow through with it. We are going to give him deadline to get a job... get room cleaned up... Return items/ gather them...

As I lay here at 3 am reading all the advice and support I want to say thank you. We told are son his consequences are whatever we say goes period. If rules aren't followed we will have to press charges. To think that we will have to do that sickens me to the core. I don't think if it comes...

We all do our best. All I've learned through all this lately is to follow through with consequences. If we don't we create a worse monster than before. If your son is anything like mine a master manipulator. I have tried to read all these people on here's advice and just do what they say...

Oh my gosh my heart cries for you. I am so amazed of your bravery of following through. I was told once in therapy...it is funny how when we raise a child people around us judge how we raise them and it so reflects on us as a person. We have to realize we have done the best and they are...

Unless your son is on the autism spectrum somewhere, you don't need a consequence for every rule.

It's hard not to be so mad to want to destroy the things they have bought with your money. I remember one late night I went into his room and slapped his face. Put my body up to him face to face with my finger in his face screaming. I lost it. My husband is going thru same cycle I have. I...

I feel so unbelievably supported here already. I told myself and my son the year of 2016 will be different. When it happens I will tell and there will be consequences. I gave him a chance to decide his consequences. He couldn't think of one so as of right now he does what I say or his car...

I am laying in bed right now. I'm going to get up and make my husband aware of what he did again. I know we need to do something. I need to do something for my health. I'm going to die from it. I keep thinking I should just press charges but I'm so scared how it will affect his life here...

My son turns 20 this next week. I always felt my husband and I were good parents come to find out not so much. A bit of medical history for him, he had benign rolandic seizures from the age of 5 till he was 14 years old. He has been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, ODD, and severe depression. I have...
