Is it horrible to keep coming back here only when I need you?

[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 388589"] Hugs.... it is so hard and so sad he was sober for 4 years and is now convincing himself that smoking pot is no big deal. Clearly it is for him... and of course you don't know that he is limiting it to pot. I assume that he is over 18 so why can't you kick him out? Is that because he is accusing you of just doing that? That is totally manipulative on his part. From what you have described it is totally reasonable to kick him out. My experience with my son is that there is no recourse for him breaking rules unless you are willing to kick him out. What I realized is the message I was sending by not kicking him out was worse... that he could get by in life, break all the rules and nothing would happen. The world does not work that way.... in fact in life there are consequences for breaking the rules... In my sons case he learned tha the hard way and after spending a couple of weeks in jail decided he really did not want to do that so now he is thankfully in rehab. [/QUOTE]
