Hi, I am a single parent with a 13 yr old son and also a 9 yr old daughter. For the past six months my son's behaviour has been very hard to handle. He is frequently rude and swears at me, he calls his younger sister awful names. The last time he was rude I told him he was grounded to which he replied "screw you, I'm moving to Nanna's" and off he went. This was three weeks ago and he refuses to speak to me. I have tried to make contact with him to let him know that I want him home but the only time he has replied to me is to ask for his clothes (which I have refused to hand over).
Now, me and my Mother do not get on AT ALL and there is absolutely no way that she will encourage my son to return home, just to spite me. In fact I would go as far to say that she would enjoy him being there just knowing that it upsets me. Therefore there is no way I will receive any cooperation from her at all in aiding my son's return home.
His Father has also tried to speak with him with no success.
I am desperate for my son to come home but feel I'm completely powerless. Has anybody else been in a similar situation?
