[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 507911"] Well it was a good convo... and it clarified some things for me. He is trying to convince me that the whole problem is that he is down there instead of up here. He seems to think all his problems would be solved if he came back up here and went to school, moved on with his life, had an apartment. How he would do all these things I am not sure... maybe he thinks somehow we are going to give him all these things? In which case he is just delusional. He is of course making excuses for his drug use and not really admitting he has a drug problem. I feel I stayed focused, direct and tried to ask questions and not lecture. To be honest i think I did very well, thank you very much. My hope is that he will think about some of the things i said.... I think he may be hoping he will bring him back up here and get him into treatment up here. We are not going to do that. My point to him is the place is not the problem. And the more he tried to convince me otherwise, the more clear I became. I also know it is the girl that he wants to get back to. So we shall see what happens tomorrow. TL [/QUOTE]
