[QUOTE="vligrl, post: 509748, member: 14003"] ("is he home?" "Is he ok?", "will he be home tonight?", "will he be home for dinner?", "if I ask him clean his room, will he bristle?" "so, should I ask him to clean his room?", "do I dare ask him what time he will be home?", "we haven't heard from him in 24 hours, do we text him first or wait for him to text us?", "why is he acting this way?"...you get the idea, it was on a continuous loop in my head - h's too) Sounds like my loop. My husband and I have definitely had the issue where almost every conversation starts with my son's name, mostly on my part. Drives my husband crazy. Interesting enough, my son has not mentioned the use of his car since we took it away last Friday and that was due to missing class, again. We pretty much stopped asking if he would be home for dinner since he rarely is and just make it for the two of us. He does his own laundry and usually makes something quick to eat. I don't clean his room but do tell him to when you can't see the floor anymore. It's like he barely lives here. Spends most of his time at his friends houses or out. Comes home every night never very late. Eventually, his friends will tire of always picking him up and using their gas. That's when it will hurt. I find I tense up as soon as he is home and always walk on eggshells afraid I will offend him in some way which is easy. We use to do so much together and he was so much fun to be with. It was so easy then. I understand what you are all saying about not tolerating drug use and agree. [/QUOTE]
