[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 51025, member: 2389"] Mikey I couldn't help but notice your description of the older "kid" in the group that supplied the booze. You do understand that within a yr your difficult child will be considered an adult? in my humble opinion your difficult child knows that you won't kick him out and he has it made. He can get stoned, hang out with loser friends and still get a roof,food and clean clothes. What stoner wouldn't love that? I am sorry but your take on reasoning with your son that continues to have the upper hand baffles me. I can't see the reasoning behind where you think you are getting by allowing him to "only" smoke pot? And yes, if he is not in a rehab or out of your house you are allowing it, because it is happening and you are aware of it and you continue down the path of that is all he is doing so we are keeping the family together. You can't have a family with an active using addict under the roof! You are not yourself, your wife is not herself and your poor easy child is under it all. I say these things out of love. I have made the same mistakes and have been left to pick up the pieces of the broken family I thought I was keeping together. I hope for your son's sake he is caught before turning 18. The juvie system will help him. If he makes it to 18 before he is caught the adult jail will care less what happens to him there. [/QUOTE]
