[QUOTE="SLA, post: 626318, member: 17986"] Thank you Childofmine, I really appreciate the logic and reinforcement. My son will be 21 and my daughter is 23. Both my husband and I agreed that he needs to go, but this morning my husband is questioning this consequence. I told my husband that I was tired of dealing with my son and his drug use ( We have been married for 26 years, and I have been the disciplinarian and my husband really hasn't helped a lot in this area ) and if he wanted to change the consequence, then I was done. I will wash myself of the situation and he can deal with our son and I will be the silent parent. I wish my husband wasn't so wishy-washy on decisions. I never dreamed that I would have to make a decision like this about one of my children, and I know my heart will break when my son has to go, but I believe that he will finally learn what life all about and have to fend for himself. Hopefully he will finally appreciate all that we have provided for him and how he just took advantage and just expected it! Maybe struggling a bit will help him grow up and think about what he wants to accomplish in his lifetime. [/QUOTE]
