[QUOTE="Lucyxyz, post: 706205, member: 21235"] My son started very young. Grammar school always in trouble for talking, pot started in junior high as did suspensions. He was a gifted athlete but would sit the bench as he wouldn't show up to practice on time or give his all at practice. This happened year after year after year. So never any recogning ever. Rules don't apply to him. No matter that he ALWAYS paid the consequences (bad grades, no college opportunities, benched, trouble at home etc). I was his mom, so I'd take on coaches, teachers, other parents etc as I thought that's what I was supposed to do. He was always punished for his actions but again NEVER recognition of the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Anyway he's 20 now, and I had brain surgery last March. He got physical with me my first day home from the hospital as I asked about his high school friends that had gone on to college (that set him off) and he's gotten nastier and more violent since. So it's been years in the making but I'm done. The last time was a few weeks ago and the things he said you can't recover from (even as his mother). So I no longer want anything to do with him.
