Once again, I am on the MileHighDad bandwagon! I must agree that you need to commit 100% to this child and decide "how" to parent him and not "if". If you are feeling "if", your child can sense it. All of his key adults in his life have been "if" and have failed. No child deserves that. My 14 y/o just recently started believing me that I was 100% behind him. I have told him time and time again that there are no "if's". WHen we hit bumps, we will find ways around them. That how families work. DO I love him? Absolutely... and more and more everyday. Is he a pain in the a$$ sometimes? of course! he's 14! Let your guard down a little and roll with it. It is a great ride....
