[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 756264, member: 24254"] I feel like there are some boundary issues here. You get to decide who comes into your home, you get to decide whether or not to allow overnight guests in your home, but your son gets to decide whom to date - even if it is with someone unhealthy. He knows what he is getting into with her. For some reason he is not done with the lesson she provides for him. Whether he gets hurt or whether she gets hurt is up to them to decide and deal with. And you don't cause someone to drink or to stay sober. Whether you upset him or not, it is his decision whether to drink or not. Whether the girl upset him or not, it is strictly up to him to deal with his feelings and whether to do that with picking up a drink. It is his choice to be in AA or NA meetings or not to learn how to live without the use of alcohol or drugs. [/QUOTE]
