Angel,
I'm sorry your son has been so deceitful. It's hard not to blame yourself
as a parent, but it's not your fault. Remember your son is sixteen and has
chosen to behave this way himself. I pray God turns him around.

>can't really trust anything he says, but as St. Paul says "love believes
>all things" I guess. It is just that I know his potential and I know if he
>really tried he could do as well as his phony grades indicated. Just last
>week he stopped seeing a few of his bad friends and I thought he was
>turning himself around but, he still insists his report card was the one
>given him by the school, and the confusion was the fault of the schools. I
>keep thinking I must have failed somewhere. People keep telling me I
>haven't and his bad behavior isn't somehow my fault, but, I still think if
>I somehow did something differently he would improve. If you ask him he
>will blame me for all he does. He uses me as an excuse. I even do that.
>I really need prayers.
