[QUOTE="busywend, post: 61330, member: 391"] Mikey, I started reading your 7 page post earlier today and just finished page 7 and have read your posts here. I have to say it - and I think others have already - but it has not sunk in. You are destroying your family. You are WAY too involved in the daily workings of your son. You need to set the rules and the punishments for breaking those rules. Period. Then if a rule is broken, the punishment is dished out - by either you or wife. Shouldn't matter because the punishment is already known by all. You even mention that you are recovering from - I think - alcoholism. You are a decent, law-abiding, tax paying citizen - correct? difficult child can be, too. You just need to give him the chance to learn all the life skills the hard way. Yes, the hard way. Some people ONLY learn from the hard way - and not the easy way. You are giving difficult child the easy way by not following through with the punishments. Seriously, if I were wife I would be pondering getting you out of my house - betting on it being much more calm and peaceful. Sorry. I am sure you either do not believe what I just said, will dismiss it as someone who doesn't get it, or come up with some lame counter to what I said. I really do not mean to offend or hurt anyone - but this is getting destructive not only to you - but to the entire family. You are the destructive force in your house. Sorry. That is how I see it. Hope I am wrong, because I do not see you changing anything. [/QUOTE]
