Oh I sooooo hear you on the parents thing! My parents also think I am not doing the right thing with my son, they think he needs love and that God will fix it but we can't just abandon him. So I said "You know, I was kicked out of the house when I was 15 for alot less. If I pulled 1/10 of the things my son did you would NEVER talk to me again...so lets not get into that!"
But I always feel terribly guilty about not being there for my son, especially after talking to my parents. I have learned not to talk to them as much anymore, which is sad, because my mom and I used to be really close
