The Rebellion

God.....Please keep my son safe as he does exactly what I ask him not to do. I know he knows better....he has so much potential....

PLEASE keep him safe this night as I sit waiting for his call.....praying he won't be in a wreck as he drives to all the places he is not suppose to be. Give me one more chance to talk to him...to try to figure out what I can do to help him see....the road he is on is paved with pain and only leads backwards and down!

For all of you out there in Internet land....any advice would be helpful. His father is non existent at this point. His grades are dropping. He has been at the same school since the beginning. should I take him out? He moved here this summer after getting in trouble at his dad's. His father is now divorcing and apparently become an alcoholic over the past few years. My son has had little guidance and a lot of heart ache. I had no idea this was going on. He is 16, and confused. His home life has been volatile to say the least and he has huge self esteem issues. do I take him away from everything he has ever known? do I make him angry and ruin what little communication we have? I wish I knew the right way to do this.....

  1. He HAS to be scared of you. Not in a mean way - in a respectful way. Forget empathy - make him respect you and he'll turn out a rounded human. Cruel to be kind.
