[QUOTE="conniemc, post: 448581, member: 12455"] My difficult child and I acutally have a good relationship. We have the same sense of humor, are very close and when something is bothering him, he comes to me first. Believe me when I say that we have not let him get away with his behavior without giving consequences. I too have had trashed rooms, holes in my walls, broken tv, etc. No, I think him being away at military school gives us all a break away from each other. After dealing with him for 15 years I was at my wits end. Him being away also helps in another area. He was making friends with kids that have no parental supervision. You know the kids whose parents are their "friends" instead of their parents? I wanted to break him away from that group asap before something bad happens. The girls too are really pushy. I can't believe how blatant they are. He is attending an all male military school that has monthly dances with girls from a local private school. The officers at school teach the cadets the proper way to treat a lady and believe me that the cadets listen and learn! It is hard to send my son away but I know that it's the best thing for him. He is being given a great opportunity. I just hope he realizes it. I think in time he will learn to love the school and embrace it full on. Especially as he ranks up and has a leadership role with the other cadets. I pray someday that he will thank me for sending him away. Once maturity catches up and he understands the sacrafices we have made for his future. At least that is my hope. [/QUOTE]
