So, here I am, Dickhead Dad. I really don't understand my 19yr. old. I take his license for drinking under age and his mother gives it back. ( Divorced, happened twice before he was 18). So he turnes 18 and leaves for greener pastures and craps on me and his 6 year old brother from another mother. Was divorced for 7 years, remarried and another son 12 years apart. SO, I never missed any of oldest son's anything in school. Supported his activities and only demanded he act responsible and have as much fun as possible while respecting the law and other peoples property and rights, so good so far? He is above average in smarts and I think that is part of his problem. Even the Detroit judge said I was over bearing in taking his license!! WHAT??? My underage son drinks and has a car, I take his license at age 15, I still make sure he gets to all school functions, allow his friends to spend the night at my house but never theirs and I am over bearing!!! Where is the justice? Why is my otherwise smart son acting so.....so.., dumb? Why when I gave so much did I get crapped on like this? He has learned to be decietful, sneaky, with a sense of entitlement! where did he learn this? So he moves out at age 18 on his birthday. I love and miss him greatly. I'm trying not to become angry. I'm trying to understand. He knows he is breaking my heart with every passing day he ignores me. WTF, really?
Signed,

Of course, you need it too, and it's hard to keep loving someone who keeps hurting you. I agree that something weird is going on with that judge talking about you were being overbearing for taking away his license. Very strange.
Your son's mother sounds like a pushover, she's taking the title of good parent in your son's eyes while your role is is bad parent, also not unusual. The judge sounds like a moron too. Remember judges aren't always right; they're human and often make mistakes.
Ultimately you just need to stand firm. If your son lives in your home he must abide by your rules; he doesn't get to call the shots. Remember he could have killed someone or himself by driving drunk so this is very serious. Just stand your ground and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Your son will eventually get over it. Instead of dickhead dad you should call yourself brave dad. It takes guts sometimes to do what's right.
