[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 729180, member: 19290"] We seem to have all the same stats. My son still brings up his ACT score from time to time, and yet he’s not smart enough to recognize the irony of taking a gap year to finish his high school credits!! I also have a 16 and 13 year old. And having our oldest out has restored peace to our home. When I have pangs of guilt acknowledging that, I think back to all the madness the youngers overheard when we were pulling our hair out trying first to teach him and later just to keep him safe. Notwithstanding my sons deflection and denials about having a substance abuse problem, we are confident that he’s caused enough havoc when he’s using that he needs to be sober and emotionally reliable to live at home. While he’s mulling that over, he comes for Sunday dinner and video games with his brother and texts and calls (mostly logistics and hellos), but more substantively with his little sister. I just wanted to share that healing can happen even in a new weird (I can’t really call it a new normal). [/QUOTE]
