[QUOTE="Blondiesbf, post: 451258, member: 12548"] You are all giving me great information and much to think about, digest, and even some action items. I looked in resources and wrote down the titles of two books to buy. Went to Borders to see if they had them and lo and behold, the paper I had put into my pocket was gone. Walked around and picked up a book titled [I]No More Letting Go: The Spirituality of Taking Action Against Alchoholism and Drug Addiction [/I]by Debra Jay. It seems to be a different approach. I'll be reading and determining if it has helpful information. I have already considered psychological issues...even bipolar, but he has to see someone for that determination to be made. I will definitely approach him in discussing underlying issues. Try to get him to open up, and set the drinking aside. I think he needs to know I love him regardless of whatever sexual orientation he ultimately chooses. I've tried to discuss solutions to his other issues like debt and career choices but he gets frustrated. I was actually thinking discussing getting help for his perceived depression would be a start instead of pressing the alcohol issue. It might be a better avenue to get him to the doctor. The money Ricky has is his. It is his pay from BK. We don't pay for anything anymore for him. He'll never learn if we do. I know both boys smoke pot and I know they do it in my house. No more. First rule and boundry in effect immediately is it will not happen in my house anymore! No paraphenalia, no dope, no nothing. Should they choose to not take us seriously, they can move on!! It's a start and I know it's empowerment that will keep us moving in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
