I have 2 teenage sons, almost 14 and 16.. I have raised them right, they know right from wrong. They are intelligent boys but over the past 2 years they have turned into children I don't even know.. They have turned into theives and liars and unmanageable punks.. I am just so tired of never having peace around them. Neither of them care about school, they couldn't care any less about homework or grades. Its murder even getting them up to go. They used to have dreams and ambitions and now nothing.. It breaks my heart to see the two beautiful boys turn into their father..who cares about hardly anything. They want to live with him and i am to the point of saying.. GO!! I have raised them all alone this far, he can do the rest of it.. The problem is that I am scared they will not be aken care of properly. I know there are fed and clothed and have everything they need when they are with me. Should I show tough love and not worry and let them make this choice?

They think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
Do not let them go. It will be tough but, it will be best for them
Good Luck

Mom, It is time for tough love. We know that you are trying to do your best and you are afraid that they will not be taken care properly, but they must learn for themselves to appreciate you and what you have done for them. I have three step girls that was raised by my husband and they always want to go with their mom (which has an alcoholic problem). We finally got tired and let them go. Six months later they were all back saying how terrible their mother was. Let them go and they will be back.

I would say let them go, I know it will be hard on you. but I think after they have a taste of life with their father, they will be back with you mush different boys. Sometimes tough love is the best love.

I know as a mother it is a hard decision to make. It might be best to let them go. If their father doesn't care about them or do anything for them, they may think twice and be thankful for what you did for them and come to their senses.
