[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 32595, member: 187"] Well Mikey, everyone's already shared pretty much how I feel. I really admire your responses to our words. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> In short, I held myself up in a position of moral superiority to him, and never missed a chance to let him know it. </div></div> Yep, you're the Dad. You're the Grown Up. You <u>[i][b]ARE [/b][/i]</u>morally superior to him. ("So there!") [img]:grin:[/img] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">And this weekend, regardless of the reasons, all I did was prove that he was right and I wasn't his moral superior, and that all the high-and-mighty condecision I've used to try an guilt him into "coming around" was just my own bluster.

You get to spy and stalk and pry and nose around as much as you want. He invited that with his drug use. And just for me, I care NOT what his "reasons" for drug use are. I only care that he IS using. I completely do understand where you are coming from, and where you are trying to go, in how you are dealing with him. Having an ODD easy child myself, I tend to let the little things slide. I see what you're saying in that Curfew is a bigger thing for you guys. I agree with that on one hand, and can see why you feel as long as he abides by some rules, you can then try to work on other rules. I wish you luck, and again I want to say, you have my utmost respect in the way you have responded to all us Warrior Moms. [img]:laugh:[/img] [img]:warrior:[/img] Peace [/QUOTE]
