[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 638179, member: 18238"] We actually have a group that meets at our church twice a week. There are several problems with me handling him. First is the fact that he ALWAYS calls his mom. Thats the reason he waited until he knew I would be gone to call last night. Second, I believe we need to show him that we are as one on these decisions. If I take over and tell him no, he will convince himself that I'm just bullying his mom into agreeing with me and call her at work. He has done this before. Finally, I dont want my son to hate me. Thats why I feel so strongly about the unified front. The main reason I didnt have him arrested was his mom just couldnt take it but the fact of the matter is that in the back of my mind I was also worried that it would make him hate me. Granted, if Lil hadnt been freaked out by the thought I probably would have went through with it. It just hit me....how sad is it that the best honest emotional response I can hope for from my son isnt love, but just something better than hate. [/QUOTE]
