I am in the same situation!!!! My boy seems to be "grounded " punishment, all the time, the mood swings on his part are horrible. Basically, we either go to counseling, or he goes to boot camp, intervention, rehab, or somewhere to complete highschool. His dad gone due to work. My boy, nice, but disrespectful, partying, attitude, etc. What is the answer, how far do we as parents push. I hear don't give up, but then when do they finally realize it their life they are messing up. Seems a lot of parents are going through this. We're not alone, but need a prayer answered.Good luck, if you find out what works, please inform me. smile smile
