[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688566, member: 18958"] I know, youngfool. I read your post again. And I agree with you. But then, on the other side of it... You see, my son does not have some of the strengths that does your own son. Your son is working. He is capable. My son has vulnerabilities. He has not worked for almost 5 years. He receives SSI for mental illness. He has a chronic illness that could well shorten his lifespan. He had a very difficult infancy, drug exposed and in an orphanage. If sinking and swimming was going to do it, it would have done it by now. I am not saying I was wrong to tell him to leave. His attitude is much improved. He is more stable. He is maturing. But there are real questions about his judgment, apart from marijuana. I know I cannot put myself in the role of policeman. But I may not have any real better choice. Still, I am not sure either about the drug testing. Maybe I will put it on him as a condition that he drug test himself *through a lab, not informally. I do not know. Meanwhile I have not heard from him. I wish he would call. [/QUOTE]
