[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 86053, member: 27"] Mikey, No white flag needed. Everyone is pulling for your son, just as we are pulling for all the difficult child's on the board (and not on the board, for that matter). None of us would be here in this little corner of cd.com if we didn't know first-hand what drugs do - to the addict and to all those around them. My heart goes out to you. I don't understand your wife's theory of basically keeping her head in the sand and allowing it to continue under your roof, while you do have your daughter in the home to think about - but that's obviously what she wants and how she's getting through this. We all cope (or not cope( in different ways. No one is here to pass judgment on anyone. I do know this must all be very difficult for you - trying to put an end to the nightmare of living with a drugging teen, and having your wife put the kabosh on everything you're doing to try to make it better. However long it took you to arrive at this pont, you did arrive. However, it sounds like you have been fighting a losing battle, since there's no way you can carry through on a threat, if wife won't support it. It certainly sounds like your son has known that all along, so why change. Dad can threaten all he wants, but mom will null and void the punishment. Sounds like difficult child is in a win/win situation. Sending good thoughts your way that your son finds his way to the right path. Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
