[QUOTE="vligrl, post: 548749, member: 14003"] You are totally right about tearing apart a marriage. Our's is on the line as we speak. Frustration with one being blind and the other with a clear vision. Counselor agreed and tried to make this clear to my husband. Last night might have made a small difference. My son was suppose to go to new student orientation and pick his classes this morning at 10am, but at the last minute yesterday he was invited to a concert for free with VIP tickets and he ran with it...all the way to the city and telling us later that he wouldn't be coming home that night and will reschedule with the school. Hello??????? Anybody home I say to husband? Does thissound like a kid that REALLY wants to go to school and do well????? I warned him before he left about doing drugs and his answer was "I'll just have alcohol". I emailed him asking if he was serious and he said can't he have beer? I told him he is just substituting one substance for another and he needs treatment. His response was "wow". I let him know that what ever happens in the following days and weeks is all up to him which means he will either have the security of a roof over his head and school, or the street. He then called, I didn't answer but my husband did. Discussed missing school and the alcohol issue. My son asked why I was so upset and my husband said because I thought he was going to get drunk. My son told my husband he doesn't do that (OMG!) and wouldn't one or two beers be ok? My husband actually said yes. I had the phone on mute to hear what was being said. I am going to try to get my husband to a meeting and maybe the lightbulb will go on. [/QUOTE]
