My 16yo DS and his girlfriend (Part 2)

[workworkworkugh]

Just opening a new thread as I believe the other one is getting full.
Will try and link the old one

It sounds like you are doing a great job and treading a very fine line as well as possible.

Don’t let yourself be brought down by the negative Nellies.

Hoping you are all OK and that he is seeing what is actually happening now

Sending you support and best wishes OP, you have handled this as best you can and continue to do so, given the circumstances. I hope you and your family are safe OP.

Good luck

That sounds tough. I hope this is the beginning of a breakthrough.

This is every parents nightmare. You are handling it so well op. Sorry I've nothing constructive to say, but keep on the path you are on. Your son will realise eventually that her behaviour is not normal. There will be one day he starts his tirade on him.

Hang on in there

Good luck

so sorry things have escalated again. Stay strong, rant on here to us, we've got your back xxx

Keep going. Stay strong. Hang on in there for your son - and don’t forget your own and your family’s sanity.

I'm sorry thing have taken another turn, but it sounds like you're dealing with it.

As they say, it's darkest before dawn - hopefully this might be the last straw that precipitates some real change. Hang in there OP, you got this

This sounds mad op! I hope your son gets out of this toxic relationship ASAP x

Poor kid. He must realise relationships shouldn’t be such hard work.

I hope your DS continues to see her for what she is. Be brave. You can do it - and a lawyer sounds like a good idea.

I hope the recent events end up being a blessing in disguise OP.

Should we all come over to Australia and sort this out?

Fingers crossed for you all.

Oh God, tell me she's not pregnant.

I’ve been following your posts from the beginning. I have no advice other than to stay strong and to say I think you are doing an amazing job of being there to support your son. Good luck OP.

keeping fingers crossed your son is starting to see the light.

Sounds very stressful, OP, hope your DS gets out of this soon.

Oh OP, I hoped things wouldn't get any worse, I'm so sorry to hear this.
She really does need professional help and I just hope this will be the catalyst to get it for her.
I think your DS and your whole family need a lot of support for a long time to come.
I hope things settle down soon and I'm thinking of you and sending support round the world from the UK for you. 💐

Sorry to hear that things escalated tonight. Have just read your thread (#1 and #2) and really feel for you
As a parent to a teen -DD is 16 - it is so hard they are in one breath young adults and then in the next young children!
I really think if your DS was a DD then the police would be quicker to act.
Hoping all goes well with the lawyer etc

I think that’s a very good idea!

All fingers crossed that you’re ok and that the boy will start backing out (safely). I often think of your story, it hits close to home in some ways for me. Really hoping for the best outcome for you all.

I think he is (finally) starting to see that she needs help.
This is progress then, hopefully.
