[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 724444, member: 21895"] Copa I too reread posts as I absorb and interpret things differently with each reading. We are so often so engrossed in our own story that I for one don’t gain full perspective on it until I journal it here. I do journal and oddly I find my private journal is Moran of an emotional purge and not as introspective and what I write here. Puzzling but helpful none the less. Is some of what we experience with our DCs a generation gap, typical angst for all or some? It is challenging to Absorb and accept. I have often been shocked at how friends have accepted the slothenly behaviours of the teens and young adults. This is something I simply will not tolerate in my home. That is a non negotiable there will be no dirty bedrooms full of unwashed clothing and empty food containers all over the place. There will be no drug paraphernalia allied in my home. I think we must lead by example where we can. Wow 9 children! I had no idea. I am the youngest of 10 children. My father had been gone 1 1/2 now and my mother 6 months. I have 8 living siblings and sadly am close to only one and convers with 3 others. The others are to enmeshed in their broken lives of chaos and addiction or alcoholism. I am grateful for my sister I am close to we have a very strong bond. I am enjoying a clean and clear headed son this morning. He made us coffee and life is calm. I want to slap the touque off his head and tell him to take the hoodie off ....deep breath and accept it. I don’t have to like it. But no judgment....baby steps. He has been informed that his rehab facility does not allow hoodies and is a non smoking facility. He has been attempting to cut down on his dependence for smoking. We bought him nicotine patches....waste of money. We all learn and grow from each other here. I am glad yo spoke to the Costco manager about the incident with J. It does make me feel guilty about the distain I have had in the past seeing my son in public. A lesson learned for all of us. I wish you a peaceful weekend. [/QUOTE]
