[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 715349, member: 15032"] LBL I think sometimes these dads were a bit wild (or whatever you want to call it) when they were younger so see this in their son. That is the case with my husband anyway. However my husband always had a great work ethic and worked but he did drink a LOT, bar fights, you name it. He never did pills like our son but abusing prescription medications wasn't really the "in" thing in the 70's I guess. It took him a lot longer to see that we really had a problem on our hands and that it wasn't just the normal teenage stuff. He started to see that our son was REALLY out of control and REALLY not caring about what happened to him. If your husband wants to try one more time then so be it. Maybe your son will get it with this last try which would be a miracle but I think you two have to be on the same page. Tough love is harder on us than it is on them. [/QUOTE]
