[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 506097, member: 3710"] difficult child came back to our house after dinner, only to take some more of his music equipment. I refused to let him inside the house, so I talked to him thru the window. He was with a friend who was driving him around, and difficult child wanted to pick up some drum equipment. I just wanted him to go away so I found the items he needed and handed them to him thru the door. He told me that he was coming home later Monday nite, and I again told him that he was no longer allowed to live in our house. I had left a few clothes in his backpack and a sleeping bag on our front porch, but he never came home last night and he never picked up the backpack. difficult child called me this morning to tell me that he stayed overnight at a good friend's house. This friend has already graduated from hs and he does not use weed, so he is with someone who is responsible. difficult child told me that he is coming back this afternoon to pick up his complete drum set, because he is in a new band. I told difficult child that he can not have anything from our house at all except what is on the front porch now, and he will not be allowed in our house. I reminded difficult child that he should do the right thing and go to school, but he wasn't really listening. All he is concerned about is the new band that he is in, and he doesn't care at all about going to school. I also called the school principal to see when the cops will issue a ticket to difficult child for being truant from school. I was very surprised to find out that the cops can not give any student a ticket for truancy if they are 18 years old. It is the right of any 18 year old to decide to go to school, and they can also drop out of school without their parent's permission. That makes absolutely no sense to me... I wish that my difficult child had a little maturity and common sense, and that he was able to think about more than what is fun in the moment. I am trying to detach from the huge mistakes that difficult child is making of his life, and I have not been completely obsessed about where he was staying last night and if he was all right.
