[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 429388, member: 65"] Thank you for all your wonderfull support! easy child is a good kid. He always has been. He has always worked hard in school, worked hard at any job or chore he's had. He takes full responsibility for all his actions. If something goes wrong in his life, like a bad grade, and you say "I'm sorry to hear that." He'll tell you not to feel sorry for him, it did or didn't do whatever and it's the consequences of his behavior. He's had a credit card for 3 years and has always paid the bill in full every month. And I think for me, it was a gut reaction of "Oh Crud!" (cleaned up for sensors sake). With both Steph and Ant having addictions problems and husband being a recovery addict himself, and seeing all the pain and struggles that come/came with it, I was totally freaked out that easy child was going to live through it too. easy child & I have had many conversations over the last couple of days. He's actually in counseling with one of his pysch professors dealing with his issues. easy child has always come across as someone with a huge sense of self-confidence and he didn't want to worry me. So he didn't tell me that most of it is an act. He's been dealing with his prof because when he's in a social setting with his friends, he has a hard time standing against his peers and their actions. And unlike Steph, Ant and husband, easy child doesn't show the addictive personalities of the rest of the family. And easy child understands the risks and the dangers. He's seen it first-hand with most of husband's family. And the fact that he sought out help before he was caught had to, says a lot about him being aware of the danger in what he is doing. And when I had calmed down and relistened to the voicemail (and listened to the end), it wasn't as bad as I first thought. A group of college juniors who just finished their last finals, talking about drugs, alcohol and girls...bragging about all of it and then ending up ordering pizza and playing video games.....Yeah....Mommy over-reacted. But, like I told easy child, it was the universe showing him that he will never get away with anything. Your Mom will ALWAYS find out anytime you do something stupid. Thanks for all the support!
