[QUOTE="Tired Mom, post: 661178, member: 18222"] Sigh. Yeah I know shy people can deal with it. My whole life I have always been called my shy. When we came home from Alanon it surprised me that my husband was telling me it was incredibly hard for him to speak at the meeting that he it made his heart race and he was incredibly nervous in speaking in groups of people. I am sure it is inherited from me and my husband both of my children are very quiet with difficult child being extremely quiet. The last two weeks of June is the first time where his bank account has looked suspicous. Prior to that I am not sure he was choosing to be around people doing drugs it sounded as though it was happening in the halfway house he was at. I guess if he knew drugs were being used there and he didn't ask to be moved then in that sense he was choosing to be around it. I really don't want to harm perfect child more which is why I really don't want difficult child in our house for any length of time. Difficult child has very few friends here I am sure those that he has are all drug addicts. The only possibility I can see here is another halfway house. From stories I have read the halfway houses in my state aren't known for being very good. A women at Alanon was talking about her son relapsing and her seeing him high two days in a row. She had told him that he had to leave and he came up with the plan to go live with his cousin and that somehow his cousin was going to get him employment and everything was going to be great. She decided she would drive him to this cousin and she said the whole time she kept thinking about his funeral what she would wear, who would come, etc. She had come to the point of being able to accept it. She said she was able to think about it and accept it and not be upset. I am struggling with just accepting it. Maybe I am overreacting maybe there was a real reason that he had take $60 out every other day for two weeks plus rent money on Friday plus a few more withdraws but last time he was taking out that much money it was for drugs. On a positive note today perfect child came back from a weeklong conference in Washington D.C. where his team won gold. I'm so proud of him though he reminded me of difficult child. Neither of my son's ever think they need any clothes when we go a on a trip. I tried to tell perfect child he needed more than two pairs of shorts and two tshirts for the down time of the conference since it was whole week. Perfect Child was quite stubborn that he didn't need more than that. One of the first thing perfect child told me was that I was right that he did need more clothes and that on the first day he managed to lose the two tshirts he packed. I guess it was better that he learned this on his own. [/QUOTE]
