[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 43659, member: 1835"] Mikey, WOW! I'm impressed. Do I have your permission to copy your rules? My son has another two months in his group home until he graduates, and then he'll be returning home, not quite 18 years old. I have no illusions that the nine months he will have spent in his program will have changed the core person he is. He certainly has had the benefit of intense behavior modification and has had some emotional growth over time. However, he's never been what I call a "cope-er" in life and has always tried to avoid uncomfortable feelings. I have no doubt that this is why he turned to marijuana as an anxiety reducer and why he will most likely do the same at some point when he returns home. My husband and I are preparing for the very good possibility that we may need to issue an ultimatum at some point, and yours is certainly a great example! [/QUOTE]
