[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 46626, member: 3579"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Merris</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The son that you knew IS gone, but that doesn't mean that this sullen teenager is all that you can hope for... but recognize that though this is the road he is choosing right now, he can change and hopefully he will.</div></div> Thanks for your comment. I figured that this is the case. But when he tries to manipulate us by trotting out the ghost of the kid he used to be (and that we knew and loved), it makes it very, very hard to have more than the basest level of concern for the neanderthal he's turned into. And we STILL have to endure comments from everyone who knows him, everyone we talk to who tell us about a wonderful, polite, thoughtful, diligent child that they see but that doesn't live in my house. It's just plain hard to not get sucked in to his web - but then again, I'm sure everyone here knows that. Still detached - still on (legal) drugs - still breathing. Mikey [/QUOTE]
