[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think I have advice, but wanted to say it sounds like you are doing all you can and I admire you for that. I can relate - I am a parent to a 14 yo who needs A LOT of structure, consequences, and a lot of limits to do well. It is exhausting and as far as I can tell, outside of what is typical at this age. You are not alone in dealing with these challenges, and your son is lucky to have you. Maybe as PPs have said, the best thing is to let him truly feel the consequences of his actions early on. I am worried that you are concerned he will hurt you or your kids. That worry is coming from somewhere - listen to it and let it be a factor in your decisions.[/quote]
