[QUOTE="missy44, post: 284570, member: 6201"] Hi all Yes, I really do think he wants to change. His friends are in close proximity to our home which scares me, but he really seems to be fed up this time. They've always used and abused him, he's always been the giver (even with his closest friends) and this last time they told him they wanted nothing to do with him until he got his act together (the same boys who are wheeling and dealing in the big stuff). They don't care about him, they just didn't want him hanging around, smoking their dope and my son ran out of money. I know these boys will come calling again when difficult child gets a job, but at this point in time my son really seems like he's done. Yes, he will falter in some way I'm sure. I was told we would have bumps in the road but that each time it would get better and I'm starting to see that. MidwestMom - Your posts scare me to death! I love your honesty, you like to "nail things on the head" so your latest post put the biggest smile on my face :) If someone like you (who's been through hell and back) can see some positive then something must be going right for me! As I said before, I'm going to continue to get counselling and work on me. A few meetings sounds like a good idea. A new update, difficult child had an interview today, he said it went well. We'll see, fingers crossed. It's just part time, I don't want to push too hard right now. Anyhow, after his interview (and applying for a few other jobs) he called on a friend who he hasn't seen in ages and invited her over for a swim. This girl is clean as they come, leaving in 3 days (joined the military) and seems to have a good head on her shoulders. So I've survived another 24 hours... [/QUOTE]
