[QUOTE="Suz, post: 76580, member: 29"] 1) No illegal drug use in my home. <span style="color: #FF0000">Or what?</span> 2) I will call 911 and have you removed from this house the next time you pitch a fit. <span style="color: #FF0000">This works because it has a "rule" and a consequence.</span> 3) This isn't working for me. You have one month to find another place to live. <span style="color: #FF0000">Or what?</span> 4) Stop using drugs. <span style="color: #FF0000">Or what?</span> 5) I will report you AND your drug-dealing friends if you bring drugs here ever again. <span style="color: #FF0000">But would she? This is one of those things you can't threaten to do if you can't follow through on it.</span> 6) Make an appointment and get your wisdom teeth pulled. <span style="color: #FF0000">Or what?</span> Barbara, I think that is a great idea, I'm just not convinced that SWC is at the point where she will follow through on these statements. See my comments in red above. The comments we gave you were to help you detach, they weren't rules. I think all of us have suggested phrases, making up contracts, detaching to SWC already. After hundreds of replies to her posts, I am beginning to believe that all SWC wants from us at this point is to vent....but not to enact change. And that's fine, if that's what she wants. So maybe all of us who are reading and replying (and starting to get frustrated), should consider her posts just that....vents...and we should stop giving advice that she is not ready- or willing- to use. And we need to remember that it's [b]her prerogative[/b] to use our advice...or not. Suz [/QUOTE]
