[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727188, member: 1550"] RN, please guard your heart. I like you too much to see you getting too excited before he is in the real world. Words are a dime a dozen. Actions matter not words. And he cant know what he will do once he is out. It is easy in a structured setting, harder when you are at school or work and see people using in a parking lot or in the rest room. My daughter had to say no a lot and said she would be shaking and crying. She resisted but a few times....just by a hair. I dont mean to be a pessimist, just a realist. Many Believers use drugs too although I have a strong bias in believing due to my own life that a knowing that there is a higher power watching out for you is exceptionally helpful in any hard situation. I couldn't help Princess. For example by the time we found out she was back in college, she had already gotten a loan and had a strong need to do things herself. We may have helped if she had asked. But for us her coming home was not an option. That's the one thing I think is not a good idea. But you know what?I am not you and you are not me and in the end game it is all about them, no matter where they live or with whom. My daughter, after living with Gone boy, was living with her boyfriend. I dont like everything about him. There are some things I think are not the best. But he helped keep her off hard drugs. I am grateful to him for that. I always will be. Wouldn't it be nice to have a crystal ball? You are smart, brave, and a true hero and you know your son. We don't! You have so much wisdom and love inside of you. Love and hugs. I trust your judgment. [/QUOTE]
