[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 549396"] Sig, You are doing the right things - protecting your younger kids while not enabling your difficult child. Remember - there isn't a manual for difficult children. We have to make decisions as we go. I'm glad you had some peaceful times. I understand about how they say things and you think, "Are you kidding me?!?" but instead say, "Really..." It it as if reality isn't a part of the plan. My difficult child actually tried to call numerous high schools last Sunday morning. Why? Because he wanted to set up a time so he can come and speak with the students as he can explain to them what happens if they use drugs. I wanted to say "The schools are closed on Sunday morning. Besides, you have maybe two weeks clean again, no job, and a warrant...do you really think you are the best role model????" Instead, I said nothing. On Tuesday, mine actually tried to open a discussion about me sending him to a private college. Tuition is $40K. Yeah, right....as soon as my head falls off, I'll be writing that check. Guess ours are cut from the same cloth? Maybe you can pipe in some nice music so you can have something to listen to in the sand. Hang in there.....you are doing great! [/QUOTE]
