[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 36012, member: 97"] my concept with ant now is that I would feel guilty if I did not remind him of consequences. I tell him if he does this, then this will happen..or if he does not pay his fines or do his community service then he will be back in jail. I told him once. he is smart enought to know it. telling him eased my mind that he knows it for sure. if he chooses a diff path than the freedom train...his problem. not to say that does not cause me sorrow. just to say I admit I am helpless to control his actions. your son is problem staying away weekends to use drugs/alcohol. he is an addict. ant is an alocholic. a functional one. he holds it together mon thru fri to get money from work. he has lost weekends. I wrap my arms around you cyberly as I know the fears you can get. the anxiety and worry are so alarming. I find comfort in turning it over to God. I tell myself even when it may not look like God is at work, he is. even when things look bad, ant is learning some thing. some lesson. without me. I feel God knows I need a break from it, it is way over my head and out of my realm of control. I lay that burden down. Peace to you and yours. Janet [/QUOTE]
