Ian is going to live with Kirk, probably this coming weekend. I can't keep track of him. He was out until 2:30 in the morning a couple weeks ago. If I give him any independence at all he takes off for hours and I never have any idea where he is. Yesterday he took the dog for a walk, in an attempt to show me he can be trusted. Well, 4 hours later I found the dog tied up at a friend's house and Ian nowhere to be found. He's smoking. I'm fairly sure he's tagging. I keep finding switchblades under his mattress. Maybe Kirk will have better luck. I'm heartbroken, really heartbroken, but I don't think he's safe with me. Kirk is home by 2:30 everyday and can supervise him where I can't.
I feel like I've failed him.

You haven't failed him. Ian has always been his own person (much like a few of my own kids). I'm sure Kirk will do his best for him and perhaps the change in geography will be good for Ian. New associates/environment/rules/etc.
This change may be good for both of you. I know it's hard and hurts but I pray it will get better.
Love you
I hope so, dad. I hope he doesn't feel like I'm throwing him away :(
I'm just scared he could really get in trouble the way he's going.
Tami,
I think you're brave just seeing that there's a problem and are taking steps to correct it.
I don't think you've failed him and vice versa.
It's because you love Ian that you have to send him to live with Kirk.
Love ya!
Be strong :)
Tami ... you're not alone in this, y'know. www.momstory.blogspot.com It's a long tough road, but it can be overcome. I promise. There is help out there. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for it.
