[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 516616, member: 1967"] Oh my . . . I wonder if he will ever realize how incredibly entitled and self-centered that statement was. Children are dying of starvation around the world and his biggest problem was going to Florida instead of skiing? Sadly, my difficult child has said things like that, too. I compare my difficult child who was given everything with my niece who is the same age and grew up in near poverty. My niece is in the National Guard, has served three tours of duty in Iraq/Afghanistan, owns her own home, and is the youngest sargent in her unit. I've come to believe we can cripple our children with affluence. Of course, my easy child turned out great even though she, too, has some entitlement issues. wantpeace, I know that your difficult child is only 17 but is there an option of a sober living facility or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he can go to on discharge. I doubt he will really be ready for sobriety after only 30 days. Our difficult child was older but we insisted that she go to a halfway house where she would be required to continue going to meetings and being drug tested. I really think it helped her. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
