Ugh I am at a total loss. I have no idea what to do anymore. My second son is just bad. I’m almost to my breaking point. I’ve done everything you can think of and he just keeps doing the bad stuff over and over.

I can empathize

I’ve wondered if he has ODD.

we don’t have a formal diagnosis because we can’t even get into anywhere to get one! The mental Health system especially for kids sucks.
Heather··
I agree! It’s absolutely horrible.

I'm sorry I know you've been dealing with this for awhile 😕

It just keeps getting worse and worse. Court didn’t phase him, counseling just started and it doesn’t seem to have helped, getting “arrested” didn’t help. Which it wasn’t really. The police called and said he was arrested but when I went to pick him up he was in the break room with his friends watching a phone and they had drinks and snacks out of the vending machines. The police have no suggestions either.

I am so sorry you’re continuing to go through this 🤍

I'm so sorry Heather. I was hoping things would get better. 😔

He’s about to get dropped off at the youth shelter for 30 days. See if he realizes how much he has it made at home.

If that's what it takes, maybe it will make him change. You can't keep doing this before something worse happens. I know you're trying. ❤
Heather··
I’ve done so much I really am at a total loss of what to do next. I swear he’s going to give me a heart attack

I'm just sending lots of love to you and @squishymommy1
I obviously have no clue how to handle a teenager. I will be crossing that bridge in 4 years.

Check and see if they have a "Young Marines" program in your area.... Go and interview the Commander and cadre and give it a try if there is one. It's kind of like JROTC but on your own time and it uses military history, drill and ceremony, to instill pride into kids. It can help to have a mentor outside of the family and this program if it's still good like when I was a kid, will help you!
