[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694430, member: 18958"] RN. Do you think you and your husband might need to rethink your son's access to any car you own and control? I am thinking both about the risk to you and to the need to have really strong consequences. To my way of thinking he needs to "get" that his world changed irrevocably. Not business as usual. OK. I understand that your and husband's tone of voice changed. He knows your "mad." But he believes that he can snow you, control you--that he dominates the relationship, that because of your love for him--he can convince you of anything. It is this that has to be undermined (by you): his sense of absolute control and security based upon his belief that he pulls the strings[I] to you.[/I] That is horrible. Just horrible. I understand that it is drug-fueled, but what a really despicable thing to do, to sell that link to a beloved mother and grandmother--that will never be replaced. I have lost things like this (actually my sister stole them) and the pain is like acid on my heart. So maybe I am over-reacting here. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
