[quote=Anonymous]We went through this with my son. Everything hit the fan at 15. We ended up giving him a choice. His options were military school, treatment program, or do it on his own without our assistance (we could not take it anymore...his antics were wearing on the entire family and our marriage was suffering behind him). He chose to do it in his own and eventually moved in with my ex-husband's mother. She was able to see his behavior as well as his father (they all thought that we were being dramatic and overexaggerating) and they ended up having the same issues. In the end, once he burned all of his bridges, he came back for help. Now, 6 years later, he is thriving and doing well as a responsible junior in college. There is always hope...we just have to be firm and know when we are enabling them versus helping them.[/quote]
