In a recent conversation with difficult child from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he informed me that he will not be perfect when he gets home. I understand that. He is not going to be new and improved I know. But he also informed me that he still has the "urge to smoke weed almost everyday" So what I thought was an eye opener by going to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is just a trip away from home for him.
I know I can not control him I have realized that, but how do I handle "the urge"At 17 1/2 he is going to be throwing his life away and I'm affraid, never be a functioning adult if under the influence.
He comes home Nov 9 and it looks like we are not going to be much better off. Maybe the anger will be less, but I know once he starts back with that stuff it will return and I'm Not ready for that.
Any suggestions or input. Feeling alittle down and desperate. :sad:
