[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 34668, member: 27"] Mikey, I apologize for not responding to many of your posts lately. I've been knee deep in family chaos. Congrats on getting thicker skinned, and in realizing that your son is doing everything he can to get away with whatever he can. I do agree that we all have to do what works for us and what we can live with, but I am a bit amazed that you know he's out drugging, getting stoned, but your line in the sand seems to be his curfew. Talk of prom and helping pay for it, knowing he's out there drugging is something I couldn't/wouldn't tolerate - but again, you need to do what you feel you and your wife can life with. Drugs was my line in the sand. No living in my house while drugging - and no, that did not necessarily mean my son was bringing the drugs home or getting high in my house - but I would not allow him to live there - and we did basically "force" inpatient Residential Treatment Center (RTC) treament twice, once at age 14 and the next time just after his 17th birthday. It was just something I was not going to live with. I hope your son turns things around before he does reach adult status. Again, I applaud that you and your wife are on the same page now and that you are working the Do to Get theory, but I still question the knowing he's out getting stoned, and you're still pondering helping him pay for prom. Again, it's all about what you are willing to tolerate. Hang in there. Deb [/QUOTE]
