[QUOTE="CDN_DAD_in_tough, post: 722904, member: 21175"] Hi Tallrobert. Some very very familiar details in your story. Your son shares many traits with my 16yr old. I haven't noted any porn issues so far - my son has access at home only to his phone and a PS4. The laptop and ipads are all pw protected and he doesn't have access to them. But the lying and the poor choices (drugs and alcohol and sexual activity) and irreponsibility and so forth is completely descriptive of my boy. Like you, I feel like my son doesn't have the fundamental capability to be successful on his own...his 12 yr old brother is far more responsible and trust-worthy actually. It's an awful thing to not be able to trust your kid. I can't even allow him to have friends over because of the way he is. I'm constantly anxious and suspicious of everything he does. I've also become a complete control freak in an effort to keep him away from his younger brother - he's a tremendously manipulative person and while my younger son knows about his issues he is still a little naive and he really [B]wants[/B] to trust his older brother and the reality is he can't. It's basically caused me to live a pretty messed up and dysfunctional existence for the past few years. [/QUOTE]
