[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 702177, member: 17720"] I remember you, Robert. I am sorry to hear what you have gone through recently. I certainly do agree that you can't have your son in your home when he grabs knives, steals from you, and so forth. I certainly do agree that, even though 19 is very young, that is old enough to either work or go to school to prepare for a career. I know it is frightening to think of what our difficult children will do once they are left to their own devices, but most times they find their way. It isn't always a way we would have chosen for them, but once we step out of the way they do eke out their own path -- one that doesn't involve you "helping" him by making it possible for him to get high all night and sleep all day. I think you are being a very good father, Robert. It is tough on us to hold them to the standard of being a good man or a good woman, but it is for their greater good. [/QUOTE]
