[QUOTE="wantpeace, post: 519456, member: 14002"] Well, difficult child went to school today. His teacher texted me and said that he made a lot of negative comments about treatment. I picked him up at school to go to outpatient. I drive 75 miles round trip to get him there, need to leave work early, and find transportation and care for my other two kids. All he can do is complain about going to treatment. He started up about how he'll never change his mind that marijuana is not addictive and should be legal. He has no appreciation for how difficult this is on my other children and me. He's never worked a day in his life, but has the nerve to tell me that teaching is easy and not like having a real job! I try to keep communication lines open and to be positive, but I'm getting burned out! I wonder if it's even worth all the time and money I'm putting into treatment sometimes. I think treatment is a wonderful thing if the person wants to work on recovery. I don't see that with my difficult child. I think he needs tough love and a taste of reality. Can you tell I'm a "little" crabby tonight?? Thanks for letting me vent. [/QUOTE]
