[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 562961, member: 14356"] Trinity - my difficult child seems to be the same as far as the bad behaviour returning if I relent on anything. Well, his bad behaviour hasn't gone away at all yet but it gets worse if he thinks I'm softening. husband doesn't want me driving him anywhere anymore unless it is to the doctors. He likes to yell at me in the car and call me names and last time he slammed the door so hard I thought he may have damaged it. Upallnight - Right now difficult child is couch surfing at a friends place. Initially they said he could stay until the end of November, then December, now they say he needs to find a place but they aren't going to put him out on the street (he won't learn anything from that but at least he will be warm and safe). So for now there is no need for me to help. He has a part-time job and makes enough money there that he could contribute to the household groceries where he is and still have a little bit of money left over for entertainment and such. So right now he doesn't have a plan and isn't going to get any help from us (aside from paying for his guitar lessons if he continues to show up and practice). If and when he formulates a plan and gets his own place husband and I will give him the money for first and last (from the dirtbike), we will help him move and give him some furniture if he needs it. That's what we've decided for now. If he is working hard, going to school and has some direction in his life then I would be willing to help him with groceries and clothing - that type of thing. Thanks for your reply. With the advice here and some time to think through things I think we've formulated a decent plan. I'm sure it'll change as we move along. [/QUOTE]
