[quote=Anonymous]Alex’s father and I divorced when Alex was 8. Next two years, he would live with both of us part time, but when I met my current husband, Alex was 10. He doesn’t want to be around him or his kids and would throw a fits if anyone try to make him come. Finally when he was 12, his father moved to Washington and Alex doesn’t want to live with us, so he moved with his father. His father eventually hit the bottles hard and Alex wasn’t doing well at all. So he ended up living with his grandparents and that’s when he starts to do better.

Grounding Alex doesn’t work. He just don’t listen. As for going to the beach, yeah we were trying to reduce time then put a stop to it, of course he doesn’t listen and go there regularly.

We took his board and helmet away so he cannot do it again.

What typical teen have their own scuba gears or enough courage to do it? Last time we go to beach, none of us even want to go far nor deep in the water. Also if he have been caught doing all those kind of things, who know what else he is up to? That’s what really scares me.

As for negotiate with him, we were trying to get our hands on his things so we can take them away. Since he didn’t cooperate or tell us anything, I’m really thinking about going through his room but am scare it would just do more harm in the end.

Again… Alex doesn’t care if we made the rule. He just ignore it and walk off to do what he want. We have tried to ground him which did nothing. He just went into his room then the next day, he’s out there again doing his stuff.
