[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 735879, member: 18516"] My son has been through those types of cycles. I first noticed it when he was still a teen and started getting into trouble. The first time he was arrested he was put on a diversion program. If he completed the program it would have been as if he never was arrested. He had 2 weeks to go and he blew it! Same thing happened when he was ordered into a group home. He was 2 weeks from completing his time there and he could have moved back home with us but instead he ran. Because he ran they considered it felony escape. That was his first felony. (I was so proud - not):cautious: Fast track a few years down the road. My son has always complained that no one would hire him because of his record and yet he has managed to find some really decent paying jobs that had he stuck with them, could have afforded him a nice life. My son like yours, about 3 months in will either quit or do something that gets him fired. My all time favorite was when he had a warehouse job making really good money. He quit and when I asked him why his response was "the guy that owns the store is an idiot that knows nothing about running a business" The guy that owns the store in question has been in business for 30 years! I'll give it to him, he's very bold with his manipulation. My son has also told me what a horrible mother I was and it's my fault that he turned out the way he did. Was I a perfect mother? No, but then again there is no such thing. I like so many here and I'm sure you also did the very best we could. My son grew up in a stable home where I and his step dad both worked. We ate dinner as a family. We went to church. He never knew what it was like to go without anything. My son has not lived in my home since he 15 because he was court ordered out. My son is now 36. He's had 21 years of not living under my roof or having to follow my rules. He has had more than ample time to get his life together without my influence. Maybe when he's released from prison this fall he might decide to finally grow up and accept responsibility for his life. Stand firm Deni and do not give into him or his absurd request. Take care of YOU!!! [/QUOTE]
