You are doing the right thing Lynn. Just remember you are teaching him that you are the parent and he is the child. The parents get to make the rules, right or wrong. Parenting doesn't come with an instructional manual. Lots of huggles to you and the boys. It will be hard saying bye for awhile and he may be mad as hell, but so be it. Just give a him a big huggle and tell him you love him before he gets in the car and rides away. Try to think positive.

Our younger son was a pain in the a$$ when he was younger. He is now 30 years old, married, just bought a house and works for the Post Office. He finally grew out of it so there is hope. He is a wonderful caring man today. It just takes time.

You are doing what you think is best. Doing nothing about it would be a failure. My oldest gave me a terrible time when he turned 12 and he even hit me. It was a nightmare with visits to the school constantly and my dh (his step dad) wanting to wring his neck. Finally I had to call his dad to come pick him up and straighten him out. I have never felt more miserable in my life. He only ended up staying with him for a week and begged to come home. I hope that things work out as well for you. It is also great not to hear "I want to go live with my dad." anymore!!! My 15 year old is now a straight A student (2 years in a row) and is also very helpful around the house. Now if I can just make it until the other 2 make it to highschool I will be alright.
HUGS!!!!

MsLynn, the hardest job in the world is being a good Mom. If your ex is a decent father then girl you gotta do what you gotta do. We as parents have to do the best we can by our children so they can grow to be productive adults. Stay strong. Hugs.
The more you complain, the longer God makes you live.

You are doing the best thing you can right now. Hopefully this will help your son wake up & see the road he is heading down is nothing but bad news.

Yes, I agree with everyone here. And I also know, from my 2 sisters teen years, that if you can just keep them alive until they're 21 or so, they finally DO "get it"! But kids today can get in a lot of trouble, with running with gangs, doing drugs and becoming alcoholic, so you're right to turn him over to his Dad. Sometimes, boys just need a man's influence.
I read an article about some problems they've been having in a game preserve somewhere in Africa with the young male elephants. This is a real "gang" of males who were orphaned and didn't grow up with the usual herd, and they've become serious delinquents! They kill rhinos for fun, which park ranges said they have NEVER seen before. So finally, the rangers separated them and put them with some mature males, who taught them how to act. And now they're behaving better! I found this example in nature to be very reasuring that I'm doing the right thing in putting the differences between my husband and me aside so that we can raise our son together. And I hope it makes you feel better about what you are doing!
