[QUOTE="klmno, post: 352902, member: 3699"] He's teetering a lot. That's understandable I guess- actually I am being told by PO that this is typical for boys coming out of Department of Juvenile Justice. Apparently, difficult child used to sneak out sometimes and talk to this girl- she lives across the street- a couple of years ago while she was still in high school. I knew she talked with difficult child then but I didn't know they were sneaking out and talking. I do believe that at that point, it was platonic friendship- for several reasons. But now, I'm not so sure that it isn't developing into something more. I had hoped, as difficult child portrays, that she's more of a mentor or advisor because she's a few years older than him and she does have her own life already in a sense. I'm definitely worried about his drug interest at this point. But there is only so much I can do- IOW, I can try to address it but I know I can't make that decision for him. The more I remind myself of that the more it keeps responsibility on his shoulders and the mopre effective all this Department of Juvenile Justice stuff is- really- I can tell a difference in difficult child when he knows it's his butt on the line, not mine.
