[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 32484, member: 3579"] Thanks you guys, but it's a little bigger than that. He made an effort all weekend to do what he said he'd do. We didn't talk about his substance abuse, only about his conduct around the house and his respect of curfew (trying to start small with things that are easier to address - build momentum of success to tackle the larger issues, like S/A). So that's what happened - we had an agreement, he kept his end of the bargain (and more). [b]That's[/b] why I feel so bad about this. I used the analogy a while back about trying to coax an abused dog out of the woods with food and kind words. Well, I now feel like I got the dog to the food bowl, only to throw a rock at him when he was just starting to trust me. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] Mikey [/QUOTE]
