[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724746, member: 1550"] I never felt it was a good idea to present a teen with a car. She drove our car, but lost that privledge after her first mishap. She never drove again under our roof, until she quit drugs and bought her own car, paying for her own insurance and gas. She didn't live with us then and had straightened out. We were pretty tough on her at the end. Until we were, she had no interest in getting her life together. I don't think being soft on drug users motivates them to change. Your son is walking all over you. How does that motivate him to change? You can not fear your child's anger. in my opinion we must push them into hating their lifestyle to motivate at least some of them to quit. Some can't be motivated and will never wuit...sadly; scary. But many can. People quit every day. Please don't enable his destruction. [/QUOTE]
