[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 634326, member: 17461"] That is one of the hardest things about parenting difficult child kids. We feel a little creepy because we don't trust them. Try not to give in to those feelings, Lil. If you can see this as an opportunity for you to practice speaking truth to your son, do it. Tell him you ARE going to be gone all night. Tell him he is already on thin ice as far as living at home goes, that the neighbors are watching and have been instructed to call the police and then, call you at the first breath of trouble. And tell him too, in a nice, strong, certain voice, that if any of those things happen, he will be out of the house the day you get home. Tell him you've already researched area shelters, and that's where he is going if he messes this up. The power here is yours, Lil. But only you can claim it. Keeping you and your son in my thoughts, today. Hoping all goes well, Lil. Cedar [/QUOTE]
