[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 494364, member: 3710"] It sounds like you are taking a firm stand with your son, so that he can grow up and take responsibility for his life. If your difficult child is like my 18 year old, he is extremely skilled at whining, negotiating, begging, and generally pestering me in order to get what he wants. I hope that you can stay firm about not helping your son, because I know how many of these kids try to wear their parents down so that we will give in to their demands. I'm glad that your difficult child has remained sober while he has been at home with you. Is there a way that your son can receive additional therapy to help him stay sober while he is in college? Will he agree to go to AA meetings at school? If he goes back to school with the same drinking friends and the same partying it will be very hard for him to stay sober. Anyway, hang in there... You just have a few more days until he is back at school and on his own again. [/QUOTE]
