Quote: Then make consequences. Why isn't his probation officer on top of this? If he kicks the door or the refridgerator why don't you call the police or make him pay to get it fixed?
I would, but he has no money, W has paid his 'mistakes' so far, but in the end it is my money. She is not going to make him work.
Quote: Ask a professional in your area. Get some ideas. That's what you can do. Give us more information, there are a lot of smart people on this board who may have some ideas
He is in C, additionally sees a psychiatrist, was in a hospital for a few days. They prescribed medication, he refused to take it. Again, I can't force him to take it.
Quote: And it is very interesting that S15 and W seem to be cut from the same mold. Have you ever asked her WHY she doesn't want to discipline him? Is she afraid of him?
No, W was disciplined during her whole childhood, never accepted and there is something else, I believe you wrote something similar about your W. She didn't 'want to make the same mistakes' her 'parents' did. She she went to the other extreme. We discussed this in a couple of our MC sessions.
If I had a solution I would immediately work on it. I believe that this problem w/sS15 is also a major problem for our M and extremely depressing W.
