[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 49305, member: 3579"] Thanks Katmom. We were already moving in the direction of offering PotMonster some stark choices. This weekend only solidifies my resolve to do so (wife is still wavering, but I think is mad enough to hold the line as well). Before this, I was leaning towards giving difficult child a choice of continuing down this path and getting the boot in December, or changing his path and rejoining the family unit. Now, I'm leaning harder to change your path NOW, or completely alienate yourself from the family and get the boot as soon as I can find a legal reason. And during that time, you and risk the cops being called every time I find any illegal herbal or liquid substances, every time you come home intoxicated (in any way), and being reported as a runaway every time you deliberatly disobey curfew or run away. Oh, and if you run away with your car, when the police catch you they will remind you it's MY car until you pay it off, and you may be facing theft charges as well. I don't want to go there, but he's had the chance to play by "normal" rules that most families follow. I've said before: now it's McWeedy's game, [i]his[/i] rules. If I'm playing by them, and I still beat him at his own game then I don't give a horsefart for how he feels afterwards. I hope it doesn't go that far. I hope that wife is right, and that all these things that have happened to PotMonster will gradually build up and get his attention. But then again, I also pray for an end to the war in Iraq, an end to world hunger, and peace between Israel and their Arab neighbors. So far, with the same result. But that doesn't mean I won't stop.
