[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 105025, member: 1904"] I made husband sit down and talk today. At first he pulled his usual...i don't know what to do, this is stressing me, leave the kid alone and she'll be fine...yada yada yada. I waited him out...than I had my say... I told him I was not leaving...period. I told him this is OUR problem, not just mine. YOU are the father....step up or step out...your choice but I no longer parent alone with another parent in the house going behind my back and over-riding what I say/do...if you want to parent, than it's 100% and not just when the mood strikes you. YOU are this kid's dad not her best friend. She will be grounded until she realizes I mean business...no contact with this other girl. Her phone calls will be monitored at all times and she will not go out without an adult at her side. I told him it is a big deal....I have seen you through countless episodes of over-use of this drug, several hospital er runs because you were too high...I refuse to stand by and watch another person I care about go down this road. If you cannot or will not support me in this, step aside...no involvement means no involvement...period. And he listened....hopefully with both ears and a brain working.... I am coming down hard and fast on this one....where i am finding this new strength is beyond me but I am glad I have it Carolanne [/QUOTE]
