[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 723700, member: 18958"] i am glad to know your husband might be following our posting. m would never, ever post. first he believes everything in the internet is suspect. even a calculator. even about paint. and he is stoic . he would not disclose. but we talk about everything. and try to have a united front with my son. m is an unbelievable support to me. he reads my son very well and loves him. while he has hope he is very guarded and realistic. not swayed by manipulation. yet truly wanting to guide him i truly could not have done this without him. m believes my son still believes he can sucessfully snow us. he believes son still is not intrinsically motivated. he believes my son loves me but it is a highly circumscribed and self-serving love. ouch. while i try hard not to think this way it is helpful to have this perspective so i stay in the real world. both of us are united in believing we do not help my son by letting him, supporting him to live poorly, marginally with our help. i fear that we will have to again tell him to leave. he is going to n.a. but really does not want to quit. he will pay lip service to how pot is affecting him. but he likes life better with it. we are of the belief that is his choice. but leave us out of this lifestyle. but we keep relenting. which is our problem. but choose to see this as a renewed attempt to support as opposed to enable him. but this try is soon to end if he does not show demonstrable change. he can go to teen challenge, or a shelter, as he chooses. but he does not want to. oh well. but words are not cutting it.
