[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 611384, member: 1721"] Yes. Let him go until he is ready to reclaim his life. The current situation is what he has worked for. This is what he wants. You have taken him in once. He made another choice. You held to your principles, and he was asked to leave. Nothing has changed for difficult child. Given that you know about the drinking, you also know there is more going on here than a confused kid having trouble adjusting. He is still very young. The time may come when he will have stopped using alcohol and whatever else it is that is messing him up. That would be the time to step in. It is hard to watch them self-destruct. But until he is the one who decides to create something better for himself, he will continue on this same path. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for our wayward kids is to remember who they were meant to be, and to believe for them that they can recover themselves and become that fine man or woman they were meant to be before drugs or alcohol took over. I know how hard this is. I'm so sorry this is happening. There must be so much good in your boy, for him to want to be an EMT. I hope he can turn this around. Cedar [/QUOTE]
