I'm frustrated with you, and he's not even my kid. Not only has he got the teenage mentality of thinking the world revolves around him, and that if he says it, we're supposed to believe them (or at least that's how my niece acts), but he's got the addict mentality on top of it, and that's a double wammy.
I think you did awesome, in holding your own, and sticking to your boundaries. It's got to be hard, when he continues to charm those around him, and you have to come in and set the record straight. Too bad you can't just print up a "resume" of what YOU'VE been through with him, so these social workers have a more accurate idea of how your son has learned to expertly manipulate the system and those in it. You seem to be the one he CAN'T easily manipulate
Keep us posted, sweetie. I'm sending lots of love, hugs and prayers!
