[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2101463, member: 264425"] This is a very distressing situation for you as a parent. We all love and want the best for our children and would do anything to help them. However, perhaps it is time to take a step back. You mention in one of your posts that you look to check if he has done his checks and injections but that he lies. The very act of checking up on him will exacerbate his rebellion I fear. Human nature is a strange thing. If he was away at university you wouldn’t be witnessing this self destruction, but as he is living at home it is in constant evidence. I am also a little concerned that you a still doing his daily basal. He is 17 and should have been doing this himself many years ago. You are expecting him to be sensible and independent but are also wanting to maintain some control. Very very difficult and upsetting but perhaps you should sit down and talk rationally to him about handing all control for his health to him now he is on the cusp of adulthood. [/QUOTE]
