I think in more ways than with most 16 year olds that my parents do "cut me loose" on lots of things. Frankly I feel I have more independence than many of my peers.

The root issue here is WHY am I having these flare ups?

I think Dad (and Mom too) would agree that some adult level consequences would work as "punishment" but, we are looking to solve my problem. I think Dad has identified that my issue is probably now beyond consequences.

That is a good point. If the anger is extraordinary that is a problem.

"Frankly I feel I have more independence than many of my peers."
That is good to hear. It is hard for me to say one way or another. My parents really have never done much to encourage my independence, but I have to say that I have also never really received any punishment during my teen years.
