Hi Belrose,

I was reading your thread about how you ignore your Psons behaviour unless it is stealing or damaging property etc. How do you deal with his behaviour if he steals or damages property----I hope you dont mind me asking but I am at my wits end with my son who is nearly 16. We ignore all his behaviour even the stealing and damaging property which sounds awful but I have found that he doesnt respond to anything in the way of punishment, but I feel so guilty for ignoring it. In the past when I have addressed it, I have got no-where and he actually makes me feel guilty, as if it is my fault that he acts the way he does.

I just wish he would leave home and give me some peace.
