How to rekindle love? (2)

[Rose888]

Thanks, SH.

Where I struggle is that this kid doesn't seem to believe that he can change. And my efforts to get him to believe in his ability to change remind me of some of the threads on here.

I get frustrated watching him suffer when there are things he could do to help himself. And I never parent well from a place of frustration. I try to model self-improvement and continuing to try different approaches until I find one that works, but I can't see that it has much effect.

Any thoughts on that aspect would be much appreciated.
