Well we're swingers and divorcees right. Are we punished for this by some mighty being. I do often wonder. I have 2 sons. My eldest has recently got a fantastic job in IT, it's a dream job for him. My youngest called me today and told me he's got a job/career too today and it was the first job he applied for. Why them am I feeling so utterly mixed up.
Well I currently have anti matter and matter exploding in my brain. My partners's son is the diametric opposite. He drinks, he takes drugs and last night ended up in a horrid brawl and was hauled off by the police for the umpteenth time. It's like we are destined not to have any peace. Sorry to sound off about something like this on a website but it's as if we are being punished somehow for being bad people which I'm pretty sure we're not. Well my partner is the sweetest kindest person you could ever wish to meet and doesn't deserve all this horrid hassle.
I guess we can come up with all the cliche's like lifes a bitch and then you die etc. but actually it really is isn't it LOL. Anyway just having a post about the ying and yang in my life. The irony of it all is so biting.

Yep. That is one thing I could do. I think she is worth a bit more than that though so will keep that one on the back burner. But it is one way out.

I gather she does not read the forum? |

He's right but not a thing to dwell on as it's very negative and not very wise.

i know kids like that, take drugs, get into trouble, all sorts of bad stuff, yet they have parents who are well off and inteligent. i think most people do have a lot of problems with their kids though, lots of them just dont know what they get up to, they think they are little angels. |

I'm too young to be in your situation (I say that respectfully) but cant help but notice your comments as to how sweet and lovely your partner is. Has this had something to do with her sons lack of discipline then? |

Possibly. I wasn't angling for cause or explanation. Just a comment on how weird life can be at times. How happiness is balanced by sadness.

Oh gosh sorry for having an opinion. How dare I. I personally feel that if someone is causing you extreme anxiety and unhappiness then sometimes the only option is to walk away from that situation. Harsh but true. |

I take it he's old enough to fend for himself? If so then some tough love.
Set the rules, and the consequences. I.e next time you get carted off by the police, get into a fight, throw up on the cat etc etc, then your out.
He's beyond the point of saying you'll take his sweets off him.
We had to do it with one of ours. She was making our life hell and in the end we sat her down and just said, we love you, but we can't live together anymore. She agreed with us that it was just destroying our relationship with her.
She did move out and hey presto. We also left it with the caveat that she would always have somewhere to stay if she was in reAl need, but made it clear that would be the sofa, no coming back to a room.
It's hard, but he'll thank you for it, not at first, he'll think your a c**t, but he will get over it and respect you for it later.
..... Or not, but who cares - he's out then.

Well as I said I wasn't looking for a solution. Just commenting on how strange life is. I could go all terminator 2 on this. You know the bit at the end where Kyles's mum talks about whether we are in charge of our destiny or are their infinite possibilities that we go off on when we make a decision. Wooooo deep eh.

Tried all that stuff. He was kicked out long ago. And then he went to sponge off his dad. As I've said We have tried all the solutions so It's just a comment really on the irony of how life pans out.

p.s. He has called me a c??t LOL and thumped me several times in the face before I got the little bastard on the floor. Even then he shouted to onlookers. " he started it" so you see I have seen it all and know all the solutions. For some people there is no hope but as I said that is not the reason for my post.

Yeah you just missed out the key bit - "you ain't comin back"
Don't get me wrong out daughter came back 3 times before I got it and said, "you're not coming back"
Anyway, good luck with it. If you won't kick him out you'll have to live with it.

Sometimes by being caring and nice we enable bad behaviour, and although you are not in a position to change anyone, if you change your own perceptions and behaviour, indirectly you can sort things out, remember the golden rule.
reward good behaviour, ignore bad behaviour, then the lad wont have anyone to fight against, all he wants is attention, and it sounds like he is getting what he wants, the only person who can change is you. |

We did sometime ago. As I said that was our solution but it hasn't paid off because his dad didn't have the courage or will to do it as well so the lesson was never learnt. It's obviously too complex to get across all the route we've travelled to get to where we are but my original post was to try and get across how weird life can be. Don't worry I can cope personally. Just a bit fed up with it.

Thanks for advice but I have nothing to do with him. Just waiting for mrs N to do the same. And I agree with absolutely everything you said.

I understand, sometimes you don't want advice or to talk things over you just want to say
"life is crap sometimes isn't it?"
and for someone else to say
"yea" |

Let's hope it stays that way for you. Yeah he needs to be sectioned too. We have been telling people who are supposed to know about these things for the last 10 years that there was something not right with him

Yep I think you are right there too. For some people it's very hard to dish out tough love. I dunno if tough love necessarily works. Some people are just not very nice to deal with. period.
