[QUOTE="mof, post: 698298, member: 20533"] I think what she is saying is you need to have BOUNDARIES in place. This does not mean you don't love him. But, he needs to understand, you can no longer cover up his crimes. So...choices need to be made, if you want to keep y o ur job. Yes, 17 is young...yes, his growth will be slow...but he can go to jail just the same. Your house rules are rules...you will never be able to control him. If he wants to drug, he will....if he doesn't care about sleeping in a shelter to do so...he will end up there anyways. No one is ready for t hi s..but I will sYmpathize this...by no means would I allow to be afraid of threatened. I would protect my familybunder all circumstances....and here, they are asking you to protect t he community. There are parents who throw everything away to help that one kid...who ends up taking, taking and never gets better. You don't know w the future...but give him the chance to better himself through the rules. He has to know o you have drawn the line...... Hugs from us..we do get it [/QUOTE]
