[QUOTE="DDD, post: 116162, member: 35"] Welcome aboard. You should get some pretty consistent advice and caring responses. I have had a wealth of experience raising children and I know that difficult child and easy child teens are similar to Hurricane Katrina...you just can NOT control them. If they hook up with "loser" you can NOT stop the power of nature...usually, the more you try the tighter they get. None of ours have hooked up with someone who is an actual danger but my youngest has three children by three men who she "believed" would want to live happily ever after with her ..NOT. Two boys got together with slightly "off" girls who, much to be total amazement, were able to isolate them from the family in many ways. You probably have calluses on your knees from seeking divine intervention [img]:smile:[/img] and it sounds like your son understands that he needs to get a life and has sought out a disciplined life which is probably exactly what he needs. You can be proud. At the same time, I suggested that you do what most of us have had to do. Read up on detachment. Someone will post the easy way to access it on the Board. (I'm not computer literate!) It can be found, the harder way lol, by going to Archives and going down about eight or so posts. That will help you to understand that you have to accept the things you can not change. The healthier YOU are...the healthier your son is likely to choose to be. It is not easy but you can do it. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
