[QUOTE="IKeepPraying, post: 136213, member: 4729"] Today is the day!...... He left this morning. His friend is taking him to the DMV so he can take his driving test. I really didn't say anything to him...I didn't even say happy birthday..Is that mean? To me, its not a happy birthday. Do I say Happy birthday, now get out? It just didnt sound right to me, so I just decided not to say anything. My husband and I have been sitting here saying "how do we do this". What are we going to do? If we approach it wrong, he will play victim, which he loves to do and use us as an excuse to continue his lifestyle. I mean, he is still my son and I want to see him change. I am thinking I am going to do this. pack his bag and put it by the door. Make a list off all the things he needs to do Job, school, recovery program, stay off of myspace (he communicates with some shady people on there) weekly drug test, no daily outings with friends anymore, if anything goes missing in my house, he is gone and wont return until found. There will be no exceptions. effective NOW. He than we will make his choice, follow the program or take his bag and walk out the door. That way, he cant say we kicked him out...it was his choice. I was thinking about the suggestion about pressing charges for the earrings. But I'm not...I want to give him the chance to change and he cant get hired at a good company with a criminal record and we will be in this mess forever. So I guess that will be my last sacrifice..my diamond earrings [/QUOTE]
