[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631607, member: 17309"] Well actually, he came home in a pretty good mood considering. Bummed out about his friend, who he says has been binge drinking nonstop for a week and the place he was at was full of drunken idiots and he would have left immediately, except for his friend and not wanting to make things worse for him. He took his friend to his cousin's house and left him there. He was sad, but quite mature about the whole thing...said he really tried to help his friend, but now he sees there's nothing he can do. MWM, I do appreciate your input. But I don't think I did anything wrong with letting him take the car to his friends. It's my car. I can give it to a bum on the street if I want. I chose to let him use it. I let him know in advance this was not going to be repeated. He was sober. Not only that but he came home early - still sober and with some insight into his friend. All in all, I think I made the right call. Sorry I'm not tough enough for you. You are right - I'm NOT ready to kick him to the curb. Maybe I am downplaying. Maybe I am in denial. Maybe I'm to blame for everything. Maybe nothing will change and it's all my fault. All I want is a quiet, peaceful household. I want my kid to grow up. I want him to get a job...which he apparently has. I want these moods of his to be under control. I can only handle one thing at a time. Right now that's getting the job and keeping the job. We'll work on the rest. [/QUOTE]
