[QUOTE="Lil, post: 649913, member: 17309"] Sherril, I see your son is only 18. It is so hard when they're so young, isn't it? They seem like they should be children still...like they should be able to change. I feel like that's the worst part. It seems like we're not done yet...we're still raising them...so we owe them somehow to keep trying. I try to remind myself that young men the age of our sons are currently in the military, serving their country. They aren't babies. We have raised them. We have done what we could and we don't actually owe them a thing. IN fact, if anything, they owe us. Well, I did make him go the whole weekend. :confused: And I didn't buy him much. And I told him that this was it. Now he'd have his food stamps and he needed to get a damn job because it's time to grow up and take care of his own life. I thought we'd had a pretty good talk...guess it didn't take. [/QUOTE]
