[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 469555, member: 12928"] Your whole post could've been written about my kid. Good grief. XH was the one who always gave him an out (DS sees it as "dad always had my back", even though he hates his father and won't speak to or see him) and I was always the one who pushed for follow-through and consequences. DS still hasn't quite forgiven me for telling a judge that we really needed to put our money where our mouth was and give DS juvenile detention time for his umpteenth probation violation. DS always got around the probation and school folks with charm, and has been able to get away with lots and lots of ridiculous things. I don't know if more follow through would've kept him from the drugs, though. It might have tempered some of the arrogance, but since he's a virtual clone of both his father and my father, maybe not. Thank you for posting this (including the post title, which made me laugh) - I'm taking a lot of strength from reading about your situation in particular because of the parallels between our difficult children' choices.
