[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 64072, member: 3626"] Honestly, I wouldn't cut him that much slack. He did use drugs. He didn't work the program for a long, long time. He's manipulated you left and right. He needs to earn your trust back, not you just give it to him on a silver platter. I'd let him have a certain amount in a joint checking account. I would arrange it that he could spend this money however he chose but I'd have the right to see what was done with it. That is, no mystery passwords. The rest of the funds would be in a savings account without his name on it for the time being. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear and I do understand the desire to let the past stay in the past but you're talking about a simple teen digression. You're talking drugs, arrest, lying -- the whole nine yards! If nothing else, talk to his counselor and see how much freedom he recommends. However, that you're afraid that he'll consider it a controlling issue by you of his money rather than a protecting him from his own possible mistakes speaks volumes to me. [/QUOTE]
