[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 706226, member: 15032"] Sorry for your situation. We know how hard it is on parents and on a marriage. Does your son want to go to a regular high school? Maybe he feels a bit alone because mom has new husband, her home has been unstable etc. We never know what makes these kids go off the rails, so to speak. Our son did and he had it all!! Our two older boys who were the product of divorce did pretty amazing. I always thought our youngest would make us the proudest and sadly it was the complete opposite!! I would suggest you get into therapy for you and your wife and perhaps with son to set some expectations and boundaries. You have to take control of the situation. Kids do need boundaries and control even though they say they do not want that. My son had been in therapy on and off for many years. My husband and I finally saw someone after many years of feeling lost and helpless. I remember a saying that the kids that are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most. I have repeated that to myself many times. Make sure your son knows that you love him. You love him unconditionally but your relationship has conditions. [/QUOTE]
