[QUOTE="Stacy G., post: 34942, member: 3584"] Thanks for the advice y'all. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, it's been a bit crazy around here lately. They were out on spring break last week & between work & the kids being home I have not had a chance to get back to y'all. I have been reading every day though, just don't want difficult child to see me typing & ask what I'm doing. So if y'all remember Adam is on 30 days house arrest (I did tell y'all that right?) so there has not been a break from him until this week. Boy, is that kid tiring! [img]:surprise:[/img] His dad bought a new Mustang this past weekend so Adam has been spending a lot of time with him on that, he seems quite excited about it. Too bad since I can't see him driving for a VERY LONG TIME. There is no way at this point in his life that I will even entertain the thought of letting that boy get a liscense, good grief I would go grey within a week from worry! [img]:crazy:[/img] Adam went to his first counseling class yesterday, he didn't seem too thrilled with it. I asked him what went on & he said for the first hour they just sat there not even talking & the second hour the counselor talked about how he did drugs when he was younger. ???? I would imagine Adam's description is probably different from what really happened but that was his perception. husband let Adam have a friend over yesterday (not one of his banned friends but still not one I'm crazy about). They were in Adam's room & I went to open the door to check on them & the door was locked, I told him to open the door. His friend was sitting at the end of the bed playing a video game & Adam was sitting on the side kinda looking guilty. I said "What are you doing Adam?" Nothing. Yeah, right. I told him to move & what did I find but a socket that he has covered with tinfoil with tiny little holes poked in it & some kind of tube thing. Of course I was furious, sent friend home & husband came in to see what was up. Really, all I remember saying was what is wrong with you? I was just so dang disgusted. husband talked to him, told him about failing another drug test & what was going to happen to which Adam's reply was he knew. He might know but apparently he doesn't care. [img]:cry:[/img] So friend is now banned from the house, I might not can control who Adam hangs around with but by gosh I CAN control who comes in my house! I'm going to give it another couple of weeks with the counselor & if it doesn't seem to do anything go ahead & make the appointment with- the psychiatrist. husband keeps telling me that Adam will not change until he WANTS to change & I know that but I can't just sit around & do nothing waiting on that to happen, he's only 15 for goodness sakes! Anyway, just wanted to give a little (little? [img]:laugh:[/img] ) update & thank y'all again for being there for me. I know it seems I only post questions but I just don't feel I'm in any position to give anyone else advice right now. God willing, that will come soon! [/QUOTE]
