[ Original Post ]
his father and i love our son. we have always felt we had a good relationship with him.but here is what has changed he has always been a little high maintenance his whole life. he is very creative,smart,sensitive.a little insecure and very demanding on others to think and be like him if your not he just writes you off,as though your not worth his time any more.he is 16 and up until 2 yrears ago has been a good kid.he did something that i couldnt repeat on this foum but he is recieving counseling once a week.no drugs or drinking or sex.he has got a lot of anger on just life it self and how unfair the world is.but here lately he has been blaming everything on us.we have had to be more aware of what he is up to and we have had to say no to somethings but over all we are still trying to be good and loving parents. it just hurts us so deeply when he talks about us so horribly to is friends and a lot of it is made up or over exagerated.what do we do? he knows it hurts us and doesnt seem to care.

This too shall pass.....just keep loving him, discipline him and talk to him when those moments arise [not lectures].
He will come around. He searching for his independence.

Be confident, not hurt ,around him.

Why the counseling?

Tell him enough's enough and you don't find his comments about you very amusing at all and in fact they are quite hurtful and remind him that YOU ARE his parents like it or not and you have the power to make his life comfortable or complicated ,let him choose.

He doesnt have a boderline personality does he? have you tried counselling? people with boderline personality write people off really easily and are high maintenance as well. They expect you to drop everything for them and if you dont your not worthy of there time, and they dont show remorse either.I would look into counselling.

I've grown up with out a father cause he's an alcohalic. And for many of years I was sad wishing I could have a 2 parent home like "all the other kids." My mom has a mental illness, she got sick and attempted suiside when I was only 8, and I had to stay with my grand paretns for a year. My mom cause of her illness has often times not treated me with the resepect I deserve. I've grown up with my nan and mom, my nan's been good to me and I love her. But this past year she was diagnosed with terminal cancer! And rate now she's in the ending stages of it. My girl friend has a similar life story. She lost her father as a child :(
I get good marks in school and help out with church functions and working with little kid's. And she's a baby sitter. I've overcome the burden of life I've had...what's the point in sobbing over it...were given 1 life, 1 opportuity. And some of us half to work harder at it...it's a challenge. But my philosopy is "drink life to the last drop; be the best you can be :)"
And no offence...but ur son sounds like a jerk. Has he had a hardship? You know "lifes a bitch" live with it, he should stop whinning and acting out. Sorry to say that but I hate those people.

yes he is getting counseling for anger .he just holds it all in ,so he says.or maybe we get the blunt of it .im very confused sometimes.i don't know whats really going on sometime with him emotionally. he is hard to read,but most of the time i know something is wrong.i know he has alot of presure at school.most of its self imposed.he expects so much more out of himself then what we ever ask for. at school any way .he maintains a 4.35 gpa at a very tough high school.and takes alot of advance placement courses.put his passion is art .im not saying we are perfect parents we all have our problems but when you feel you have given your heart and soul to your child it hurts when they go through that stage of hateing you. he has a younger sibling and i look at her sometimes and wonder is she going to do the samething and am i going to be able to handle it.
