[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 747065, member: 22877"] I think it's pretty typical. My son rarely apologizes for anything, and then only when he knows he's up against the wall. But apologies are just empty words if they aren't followed by actions, behavior changes, etc. My son was in the juvenile justice system from age 14 to 19, and that only because he aged out. He blames where he is today on the fact that I had him locked up after assaulting me. And actually, he didn't get locked up when I called the police. He had been cutting himself and so he was taken the the juvenile psychiatric hospital for stabilization and then put on probation. His first time in lockup was for a probation violation, which was the beginning of consistently violating. He made the choices to break curfew, skip school, etc., not me...and yet it's my fault for fulfilling my court-ordered duty to report these violations. You can't force your son to have visitations with his dad, but at 16 I would think that he doesn't have the authority to refuse to live with his dad when he moves out. What will happen when he gets out of jail if he's still insisting he doesn't want to live with him? [/QUOTE]
