[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664551, member: 1550"] In reading this, I just thought of how important it is for your wife to survive and be well. If you truly, truly, in your heart, believe your son is ready to change, then do it and feel good about it. This would make your wife happy to see him thriving. If you are ambivalent or feel that he really isn't going to listen to you, perhaps you should take a week to think it over. Is there any reason to make a decision this minutue? Thaink of his past behavior. It is a key to his future behavior unless he has totally been complaint, clean and on board during his rehab. Saying everyone smokes pot is not a good sign and is not true. They all say that when they smoke pot. Not everyone drinks either. When my daughter quit using drugs, she dumped everyone she knew who took drugs. We didn't tell her to do so. She just did. Not using drugs is not compatible with druggie friends...druggies hang with druggies and vice versa. If he is around it, he will do it. And he will be under pressure to do it. My daughter had to leave the state in order to get away from extreme peer pressure and THAT is when she quit, but she truly wanted to quit. I hope whatever you decide works out well for you and sending good vibes to your wife, hoping she heals fast. Although hard to do with kids, think with your logical mind and NOT with your heart. You have a good idea of what will happen if comes home and only you know how sick your wife is right now and what she can handle. Your son sounds very defiant...be careful. Can you really stand to hold his feet to the fire? Can you keep the stress down by not arguing with him? Think think think. [/QUOTE]
