And if this is detachment, then it sucks (but I guess it's better than what was there before).
Yep,it sucks. But it is better than feeling angry and betrayed everytime you look at them. Mine is still smoking--I know it, husband knows it, and tomorrow, if she does her job right, his probation officier will know it. He is doing the bare minimum to live at home. He has almost completed the 20 hours of work he has to do to get his diploma. He is attending NA meetings every night. He is not in contact with his loser friends (at least I don't think so).
What bothers me in that we are not just dealing with a substance abuse problem here. We also have major mental health issues to deal with. I am trying to let him work through the beauracracy that is our gov't, but he is not emotionally or socially mature enough to handle it. Life with a stoner difficult child is not easy. But that which does not kill us, makes us stronger---and now I am Wonder Woman!!!
