[QUOTE="CDN_DAD_in_tough, post: 707307, member: 21175"] very similar to the situation I'm in with my 15 year old son. I'm at a loss as far as what I should do and life is an endless struggle full of stress and anxiety. He doesn't give a :censored2: about anything or anyone. Just wants to hang with his "friends" (a constantly shifting group of people that he seems to rotate through depending on who is giving him what he wants at any given time). He's completely un-willing to do even the minimum things a somewhat responsible person (even a teen) should do. Skips school...does dope...stays out all night at friend's somehow. We've had violent incidents between the two of us as I hit a breaking point and lose it on occasion and he's totally not afraid to get physical with me if I try and say take his phone or something. I feel like he needs to be in a locked facility of some sort but there doesn't seem to be anything like that here (Canada). He's on the verge of going into "the system" which I guess would be some sort of youth residential group home or something which probably won't be a good thing for him really but I just don't no how long I can keep fighting this war every day. My 20 year marriage has fallen apart over the last year and a half and we're divorcing (the stress of dealing with my son is a contributing factor) and he's gone bck and forth a couple times between mom and me and is back with me since xmas.
