[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 694297, member: 19522"] Sea, you are doing well. It is hard when that question comes up, in different circumstances, there might be another answer. It is important to have peace in our homes, especially so when there are younger siblings. If I could turn back the hands of time and make this so for my young son, I would. Spent many years trying to help my two, and he suffered the consequences of their lifestyles off and on since infancy. He is 15 now, and fortunately, is a pretty level headed, sensitive kid. One good thing that came of all of the chaos is that he absolutely [I]abhors drugs[/I]. Given the chance, I would change it all, and back then, take the stance I do now, they cannot live in my home. Good for you, stand your ground and stay calm. The end of the story is not yet written and I thoroughly believe in most cases, our d cs chances for improvement are[I] outside of our homes.[/I] When this is the only option, how we accept it and move steady state with our lives, helps our d cs. If we fall apart, it does not show confidence in our decision, or that they are capable to be self sufficient. Keep your strength up dear. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.
