[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 59234, member: 1967"] Mikey, I don't understand why your son has a phone at all. You clearly said that you know that he was ignoring you while calling and talking to his druggie friends. Same for the car. You know he is a substance abuser and putting himself and others at risk. Yet he is out there driving a car. Is it in your name? Do you realize that you could be sued if your son hurts someone while high and driving your car? I'm with the others. It's time to cut him back to the bare necessities. I understand your focus on school. I was the same way with my difficult child. I put up with alot so that she would graduate on time. Like Janet's difficult child, she has also finished a year and a half of college. So what is she doing right now? Delivering pizza for a living. Looking back, I wish I had had the strength to put treatment ahead of school. In the long run, she would have been better off. I know how hard this is to do and I don't want to sound harsh but we keep hearing about ultimatums but nothing seems to change. I have a feeling your difficult child is thinking the same thing. Be strong, Mikey. We are here to help. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
