[QUOTE="KFld, post: 38355, member: 2442"] O.k. I'm back from my walk now. I wanted to just keep on walking!! It's so beautiful out. Anyway, I guess it's kind of hard when they are just using pot, because I think most rehabs don't consider that a reason to need rehab, which is a shame. If they could stop that before it goes into anything worse, they could save many people some headaches. You have to come up with some kind of plan at this point now. Ignoring the pot smoking as long as he was doing everything else right just isn't working. Seemed like it might for a short time there, but his behaviors just proved otherwise. I think he caught onto the fact that if you are seeing progress in other areas, you will ignore the pot smoking and now he's just pushing it to see what else you will ignore. Camom may be a good person to talk too. Her story sounds much like yours. the program her son ended up in sounds like it could be doing him wonders. I know her difficult child was placed there by the court system, but she may be able to give you some pointers on how to look into the type of program her son is in. Until his therapy tomorrow, is he grounded? Or is he on the loose until then? I think something important to figure out is how to get the point across that you and wife are calling the shots. Don't let him know that you wait until your therapy appointments and see what she tells you to do all the time. He needs to feel this is coming from you. [/QUOTE]
