Yes what about the boy
It would seem at 15 he already is using some "emotional tools" tools like threats, manipulation, divide and conquer and he's getting help in this endeavor from his Dad. As one poster who claimed to be the original LW said Mom and Dad are not on the same page. When Mom did not immediately "comply" he ran to Dad who told Mom to leave for a few days, gee just what message does that send?
Two questions no one at least that I have seen here has asked:
1 are there some other disciplinary actions involved , was he told to buckle down on his homework? denied some privilege?
2 Is this kid smoking pot himself? While everyone seems to think he's a young vigilante, is it possible that he is using himself or got caught using and told NO?
What ever the reasons the parents should have been honest with him long ago, that may have averted all the problems now.
