[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 88342, member: 1550"] Mikey, I don't know much about you, but, as I've said, I read this entire thread. I think you're trying to be Popular Dad and disregarding all you know is right to be Good Guy. That doesn't get results and can lead to wayward kids (been there, done that, got the badge). Even if Dancer is angry in the short term, she'll see, when she's more mature, that you were the only one trying to help her brother. I'm guessing that if he's into McWeed to a BIG extent, he's probably into McCoke and other fun substances too. He could die. Then who would be Good Guy? Dancer should have no input to how you treat your son. She's a minor child. And you don't KNOW that she won't be influenced to take drugs later on. My daughter was a sweet little princess one day and a drug addict the next year. I do think your wife is in serious denial, or is also trying to be Good Guy to an adult child who is messing with all of your lives. I'd get angry about it rather than worrying about being popular.
