Withdrawal, The Worst Stage Yet?

[DnJ]

Hello Gerda, what can I say. Kids, teenagers - Brubeck nailed it, their emotions are cranked up to start with, then add in MLC abandonment and wow.

I have 4 kids who are all at different stages in life and places in grief. Trying to keep up is demanding. Over the last couple of weeks they all changed emotionally and headed off in new directions. Mothers Day, birthdays, grad and stuff is probably playing a part. Currently S21 is argumentative and rebellious, S19 is level-headed, S17 is quiet, and D15 (soon to be 16) is open and talkative.

I am glad you are being the lighthouse for your son. Keep shining and showing him the path, he will see it.

You mentioned the financial situation and you are already working 5 part time jobs. It sounds like you are reaching a point where some tough decisions are going to have to be made. You received a pretty good response up there ^^^. The finances are unfortunately a big part of MLC, so please consider things while you still have options.

Thanks for the advice on the bnb.
