[QUOTE="feelinghelplesss, post: 448203, member: 12246"] Thanks Midwest Mom, for sharing your story. That's what I meant by happy ending...not having a perfect life, but getting their act together. I'm so happy for you that your daughter is doing well. I hope and pray that my son will decide that he wants a life free of substance abuse. He's at the point where he's blaming me and his dad for things we "failed" do during his childhood. I was there for him throughout our divorce and have managed to be a stay at home mom his entire life. He's full of sh*t, saying that I could have done better. Of course, there's no perfect parent, and I made my share of mistakes, but nothing to deserve this kind of "blame." I haven't been able to kick him out yet, that's the next step, and I've told him so (and I will follow through). For now I have taken all car keys and cancelled his cell phone service. He goes back to school in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping he can handle it. If not, he's cut off. We will do a mid-term assessment and if his grades aren't A's and B's--which he is perfectly capable of--and/or if gets into any trouble, he's done. On his own. As everyone knows, this really sucks!
