[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631563, member: 17309"] About the drugs...I'm certain he isn't doing anything that shows in a drug test. That's actually all I can say. He may be smoking that synthetic crap that is worse...but not at home. After what I lived through last summer, I'm pretty darn sure I can tell when he's high. But I can't do anything when he's not under my roof really...I mean, I could drug test...but so do jobs which is why I'm sure he isn't doing anything that shows in a drug test. Clearly he wants to and intends to do it in the future. But right now all I can do is take comfort in the fact that it's lessened. Not listening would be soooo much easier if I could get away from him without physically leaving my house! After about an hour last night, my husband and I went to walk the dog, fully intending to smoke a cigarette and putter in the garden for a few minutes, just for a break. He followed us. We went in and then he was all mad because I wasn't listening. I swear, and I said it to him last night, it's just like when he was 3 and having a tantrum and if I picked him up he'd pull away and if I put him down he'd grab me and not let go...until I tried to pick him up again and then he'd pull away! Well...today is his interview - I hope - and hopefully it will go well. If so...tonight we'll try to have a talk with him and tell him that, while we love him and don't want him to be upset, he has to quit this drama. It won't be the first time we've had this talk. But he's not getting money or the darn car for anything but work until he earns money for gas himself! Maybe this time it will stick. [B]And ladies....thank you so, so, SO MUCH for listening and ... everything. I know you all have your own challenges, some of which make mine look minor, and it means the world to me to have this place to vent. God bless you all.[/B] [/QUOTE]
