[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 458984"] I am new here & a newly realized mom of my difficult child so take my advice with a big ole grain of salt! It seems that when difficult children leave the nest it does provide answers some immediate concerns. Yet at the same time it introduces wholly new concerns and problems. So sometimes it's more about your comfort level--which set of problems are more livable for YOU? While I realize that none of us have much control over at home difficult children-when they leave-you lose whatever control you had. That may be a good thing or a bad thing. He's getting counseling but it's not doing much good. Can you talk with his counselor? Set up some family sessions to facilitate mediation of sorts? Personally, I'd work the counseling angle a little harder before resorting to kicking him out. Especially since he hasn't yet finished HS. Once he is out, he may very well stop attending school or counseling. Parenting a difficult child gives new meaning to being caught between a rock and a hard place. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
