[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 675870, member: 19887"] I am a big Brene fan myself :) I need to go back and watch some more of her talks. It's interesting that the topic went into boundaries. I feel this is an issue for me. I think unconditional love to me has meant " do anything" they need .... Whether it's making them a lunch, or being kind to them despite their actions. But maybe I'm doing more harm than good. I have to be clear with my son what I am ok with, and him dealing drugs while living with us is not ok. He is such a smart kid, why is this ok for him??? We are very hard workers, and have never done anything illegal, nothing! I don't even jay walk! He worked last year with kids whose mother was a drug addict and he often talked about how messed up that was for them. He saw first hand the results of a drug lifestyle. He had so much empathy for them and said it really helped him kick his own hard drug habit. When I helped him get the job at the school I did not know he was using! I would never have helped him. He never went to work high, of that I know. He credits the job with getting him clean. I just can't believe he is dealing now. I think because it's pot he doesn't think it's bad.... And where we live , pot could become legal in the near future, so even our politicians are giving the message it's not "that bad". Am I a prude??? I feel most people now say pot isn't a big deal.... Ugh [/QUOTE]
