[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 638600, member: 15801"] I think you are doing all the right things. The courts see out of control kids with drug problems all the time and at this age I think most courts really want to find the kid help. That is the best possible thing for him right now. Keep working with the court worker and keep letting them know what you want to see happen, which of course is treatment and help. Be clear that you think him living with the other grandparents would not be the best thing for him right now. I know it is hard to have your son hate you right now. Its hard because at some level it is normal for there to be some conflict between kids of this age and their parents... but with difficult children it is so much more than whats normal. And it is painful and hurts when you dont have the close loving relationship you want.... but as his dad you are doing the right thing by staying strong and taking a stand for what is best for him. Of course he wants his freedom and thinks he can handle it. He can't and my bet is the court knows this as well. So hang in there and keep posting. [/QUOTE]
