[quote=Anonymous]First rule of parenting teens: Don't take it personally. Secondly, go out to dinner without him. We've done this before, left the snotty-at-the-moment teen home who couldn't be bothered home, while we went off and did whatever we had planned and our kids survived unscathed. Two of the 3 are adults now, and doing just fine. Thirdly, you may want to really consider working with a professional on untangling your issues with the ones you're having with your son. If your history of abandonment is (understandably) interfering with being an authoritative parent, working with a counselor/therapist can help you unpack all of that. Your kid is going to realize (or already has) that *he* is in control, not you.[/quote]
