[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 105926, member: 1953"] This is my edited version of your letter. in my humble opinion, I would leave all of the expectations out of the letter. At this point it's just BLAH,BLAH,BLAH... It will sound like you are lecturing him and he will just read over it. Plus, in my experience the kids will agree to anything just to come home. I know how anxious you must be, you want and are expecting him to turn his life around. I hope that he wants it as badly for himself as you want it for him. Try to hang in there while he is away, enjoy the peace and quiet in your home, enjoy not having daily arguments and issues. I think all you can do at this point is wait and see. I'm sure he knows your expectations. I'm sure he is learning these things where he is at. Just keep your letter casual and nice. Keep talking about the weather and the dog and stuff like that. I know it is hard but I think it is important. Let him feel like he is figuring out how to behave, and you are not telling him. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
