Teenagers (VENT)

So my 16 soon to be 17 year old and I are at it again. I'm at a loss. We want our kids to be happy, feel safe and secure. Mine does and it came back and bit me in the ass. He has the "what are you going to do about it" attitude. So I've had to go against my own beliefs and promises I made to myself when he was born. I swore He would never be hit, he would get his gr 12 and I wouldn't kick him out. I've asked him to move out . He only needs four more classes to get his gr 12. If he would put a little effort into it he would graduate in January. He hates school, hates homework , hates chores and going to work. All normal for a teenager. Too bad its life and has to be done. Only How do you make them do it. I told him he had to sit at the table and do his homework. He sat there for 6 hrs and did nothing but bitch. I Love him so much and he abuses it. He is sullen and moody and disrespectful. I could handle the battles of raising a teenager if he was just kind and helpful once in awhile. He says what he has too, to get what he wants from me and then treats me like crap as soon as he gets it. I don't understand what happened. Hes completely different from 18 months ago. At this point all the tension and fighting isn't fair to anyone exspecially his little brother.. I've lost my son and have know idea how to get him back.

Quick update

SORRY SORRY SORRY. Its been along time since I have updated. Tomorrow will be my 3 month Surgiversary. I love my sleeve. I still have days that I can hardly eat but I think alot of it is mind over matter. I forget. (I'm just not hungry. YEAH!!!) I make myself drink protein shakes on those days. I can eat almost anything. Still haven't tried salmon again though. I do miss it. Oddly I don't drink coffee anymore. I was an addict.. Decaf tea for me. Still not getting enough water in each day. I used to drink easily 2.5 - 3 litres a day now I'm doing well to drink one. I was walking 5 km each morning. I fell off the wagon about 10 days ago. I hate the cold and its damn cold here in the morning. Going to start using my treadmill. Time to get motivated again. Had my 3 month check up Friday. Just waiting for the results of my blood tests. I still get tired, I crash out of nowhere. Dr. figures its probably low iron or vitamin D. I take a shot once a month for B12 so its not an issue. Life is busy. Kids , Hubby and all that Jazz.
Still giving away a teenage boy. Any takers. LOL
Take care everyone.
