I feel that one way things are out of control is parents allow the teens to call them names. I think the teen needs some therapy, and better yet DR. PHIL'S BOOT CAMP
Of course the child will need therapy - after living in that household! Should parents allow kids to call them names? Of course not, but neither should a parent talk to a teenager like she does - screaming like a banshee, telling him he's worthless - its obscene!
This young man does NOT need boot camp, he needs to be in a stable, loving, household.
I think that they will find some definite chemical/hormonal imbalances that, when remedied will go a long way toward solving some of these issues - but therapy, both individually and as a family is probably in order as well.

I will listen to your words, but allow me to express my feelings.
I will be open to your suggestions, but allow me to make decisions.
I will abide by your rules, but allow me to take chances.
I will never deprive you of my time, but allow me my own.
I will always try my hardest, but allow me to make mistakes.
By allowing me these things, you have my utmost respect
