Jen- W and I are doing well now and I continue to apply DB techniques in order to avoid falling into the "old patterns" when we experience some bumps in the road.
Sorry to hear about you issues with your 15y/o. While W and I went through our challenges, my step-son pretty much took advantage of the situation and "skated" through high school. He never was a scholar although he is very bright. He's paying a price now because we are having him leave the house (now a 19 y/o) because he doesn't want to apply himself in school and he lost one good part time-job with our city.
My 19 y/o has witnessed our difficulties over the lats couple of years and I have recently shared with him that LIFE IS HARD but that is no excuse to quit in the face of obsticles. I shared that many men (and some wome) would have quit on their spouses if they had to endure what i did.
Focus on your boy and be united in your decisions pertaining to his future. Blessings. C2H
