[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 181457, member: 179"] Who in the heck would drink bleach???? My God!! I thought I knew about nearly all attempted drug highs, but not bleach. Ack. I couldn't get by the smell. I can barely get by it mopping my floors. Janet, dear...this is [B]his[/B] issue. If he chooses to go out on a limb like this, let him suffer the consequences of a weak limb. It's hard, I know. You've been there, gone beyond what 99% of parents would have done. It's time for him to step up to the plate or tow the road. From what you have written, he hasn't really taken responsibility for his choices or the penalties laid upon him. He's a grown man. It's put up, or shut up at this point. If he's not putting up...there's the door. Have a good life. Call me when you can scrape together 30cents for a phone call. I'm not worried about your probation, not worried about where you will sleep, not worried about your ankle bracelet. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but when you're on house arrest and you violate that for some silly reason...that tells me you don't really take it seriously. He'll take any small opportunity to violate not only the 'system' but family values and his well being as well. The boy has not learned his lesson. Abbey [/QUOTE]
