[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 649372, member: 18516"] MWM said " One clean drug test doesn't mean a whole lot. In fact there are a lot of drugs that don't even show up on drug tests and the users know which ones they are" This got me thinking; if loser sperm doner is the one who called child services he must have suspected that she was using. It's so easy for our Difficult Child to tell us a lie and be very convincing. The "truth" is in their actions. There's an old term "dry drunk", you can be sober but still behave like a drunk. If the person does not deal with their issues at the core then they will continue to operate as a "drunk" or "druggie" I think it's great that you and your wife understand the importance of living your life for yourself. I agree that giving Difficult Child a move out date is wise thing to do. You mentioned all the different activities you had your children involved in and made a comment about "why did we bother" I think a better way to look at it is you and your wife gave your children a wonderful upbringing filled with many oportunities. You provided for them very well and for that you should be proud. You know in your heart you did a good job. What our Difficult Child decide to do in the end and how they choose to live their lives is up to them. I would much rather know that I did everything I could for my Difficult Child than to live with regret. Police and social workers, been there done that. One morning when my son was 14 I asked to see his homework, he went into a rant about how it was none of my business, it was between him and the teacher then got right in my face and yelled F*** Y*** B****, my response, I slapped his face and told him I would not tolerate that kind of disprespect. When I got home from work I walked into my living room to find a police officer, social worker, and a very smug looking Difficult Child. I asked "what's going on?" to which the social worker said "you struck your child and he called to report you" She then went on to lecture me!!! It took every ounce of energy I had to maintain control. After she was done I asked her if my Difficult Child had told her why I slapped him, she said it didn't matter however the police officer wanted to know so I told him. Then the police officer looked at my son and said "You are a punk, I can see that you live in a nice home and are well provided for. You disprespected your mother and she had every right to slap you". He then looked at the social worker and said "We are done here" The look on my son and the social workers face was priceless. I would like say that was my one and only encounter with the police concerning my Difficult Child. We have all been there one way or another. Wishing you some peace.............. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
