He just seems to be doing everything wrong atm.
He is not longer at school - asked to leave due to constant lateness/not turning up to lessons
Ditto college - missed 2 days (as he was ill) and was late 4 time in 2 weeks
Had 2 police cautions for shoplifting. Now had a letter from debt collecting agency re Primark. Apparently there was a group of them in there - one of them was a friend of a friend and swapped the labels over to get her item cheaper. Was interviewed by security and now had a letter claiming £173 for staffing costs. Didn't think to mention this had happened.
Was caught travelling on the train yesterday using a child ticket. BIL had to buy him an adult ticket as I didn't have enough cash to pay (and neither did ds)
Punched DH on the head a few weeks ago when they were having an argument. They don't get on at all, and rarely talk to each other.
His room is a hovel - I'm surprised his gf will go in it.
So he is currently a NEET (despite getting 4 B's and 4 C's GCSE), and we now don't even get child benefit for him.
His dad committed suicide when he was little, and he has had counselling for this in the past.
We are currently having family therapy - we have had 2 group sessions, DS has been to 2 sessions by himself, and DH is at one tonight.
He acts as though the world owes him a favour, and that he doesn't have to conform.
We have agreed certain rules within the house - but he tries really hard not to stick to them. I try hard to enforce our agreements ie tonight when I got home from work his gf was here. She is not supposed to be here on a Monday evening, as otherwise she would be here all the time. At 6 o'clock I told her it was time for her to go. It took her 45 minutes to get ready and leave the house
I am not sure I like the person he has become, and really don't know what to do.
I know this is a bit long, so thanks for reading.
Any advice would be appreciated.
