Our 18 yr old son who is a senior in high school and cooks pizza for a pizza chain has been suspended from school 3-4 times this year for acting up and fighting, in danger of failing, stays out late a lot to 4 a.m., refuses to help around the house, was just bonded out of jail for a minor possession charge last night.

We are going crazzee in here!

To top that off...he thinks that he's gonna stay with us while going to junior college paying rent with his partying buddies. Hell no! To me that is prolonging his partying years.

He was informed that our mental illness thing can not stand another year of dealing with his living.

Work was awful, he was awful, the rest of the night was awful...so we grabbed a 12 pak to cool off.

Then there was that awful thing in the shower that happened causing system distress.

This morning a male big told him that as soon as he graduates, he is marching him down to the army/airforce recruiting office and he's changing his life instead of hanging out in our house at his party central.

Finally someone stood up with a promise!

It sucks that we can't deal with our son.

Sorry for what you been through.

Being so switchy...they learn how to manipulate you by the time they are that age....or at least ours is. Its hard when you dont know what was said, when, and how.
