[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 37676, member: 3579"] Well 4/20 came - and went - with nary a whimper from difficult child. Didn't skip school, didn't get stoned, even came home two hours before curfew and stayed home all night. [img]:whew:[/img] Not sure where it's all going, but for the last week or two he's been very easy to get along with. We don't push hard, he doesn't push back very hard, and we meet somewhere in the middle. As far as I know, he's only been stoned twice in two weeks, is still off the cigs, and has talked about quitting his current job in favor of something better. He even asked to go back on his ADD medications (gasp!) Okay, I'm looking for that anvil to fall out of the sky on my head any minute now.... But seriously, in the last few weeks he seems to be working back into a somewhat more "normal" pattern (if there is such a thing). Of course, a few things happened as well: a teenage aquaintance died of an overdose (booze and oxycontin), another friend's parents announced to the kids they're getting divorced (Dad can't handle the three difficult child sons anymore, so is leaving), another friend got nabbed after prom for MIP (and his friend's girlfriend was already on probation/diversion for substance abuse and truancy). Maybe he's had too much reality? Dunno, all I know is that 4/20 went by this year, and I didn't even notice. Mikey [/QUOTE]
