[QUOTE="GwenWill, post: 601795, member: 16577"] Well my charmer son has been accepted back to the State University he was kicked out of for dealing pot. I don't thing he appreciates what a gift he been given. But we had a good talks during the drive. He told me about how he sticks out at the probation office; that he figures he's the only one there with a "bright future." He told me about a pothead girl from school he tried to counsel for her bad choices (!) He said she was doing things made her happy at the moment with out thinking ahead (!) It was funny but gratifying hearing MY message about immediate gratification coming from difficult child. All I could say to him is it's easier to see it in other people. I'm hopeful he may turn things around, but I'm a cold-eyed realist. I'm supportive, but looking for results. I told him It's crazy: I'm a parent looking for good effort in his school work. But I'm also a parent fearful he's gonna get busted again and get felony conviction. difficult child probation officer followed up yesterday confirming difficult child was scheduled for drug counseling. Yeah PO for staying on his case! Today I'm meeting with a lay counselor from church for support for myself. I've been exercising and eating well. I lost 30lb this year and I don't want old coping behaviors to return. Thanks for a place to share. Peace ya'll. [/QUOTE]
