[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raising teens, especially when the stakes are so high, you're "running out of time" and when at least one of them is so difficult and high needs it can break the family.

One of our DC has interfered so badly in our marriage I am shocked we are still together. Differences of opinion on treatments, parenting, etc have taken an enormous toll of which I am not sure from which we can recover. Every day is a bigger struggle.[/quote]

+1. We didn't survive it. It go so bad DW accused our son of hitting her during one her mental breakdown. He was a big kid 15, 6'3, strong athlete, his hormones at the time played a lot of tricks on him. At that time we decided to go separately and it worked out well because surprisingly I was able to manage him much better on my own. If you see now totally different kid much calmer. He just finished his junior year at Berkeley. Proud of him physics major just like me.[/quote]

He likely was always going to be a totally different, much calmer kid as a rising senior in college than he was as a 15 year old.  That's how most teenagers work.[/quote]
