[QUOTE="ck1, post: 123723, member: 3767"] Thanks for all of the support! Much needed and appreciated! WhyMeMom...you bring up some great points and questions. Regarding PO, I'm thinking I won't allow him to ignore it. He may not want to sanction difficult child for one dirty drug test, but I at least expect him to come out, address it, and scare the he*l out of difficult child. I'm also going to try to have difficult child moved to a different probation office. Actually, it's the one that started the PSST support group that Ant's Mom has posted about. Two PO's started that group and it is an excellent parent support group, as are the PO's. One of them is the supervisor and anyone that reports to her would be great. I definitely won't let difficult child know how I'm getting the information, so far I've been lucky to come up with different reasons/ways of telling him I either know about something or I'm concerned. For example, I knew some things because of my program; but, I had husband go through difficult child's online history with difficult child, and that's how he thinks we know about the searches for sizzurp. I think you're also right that he may not be doing as much as I'm reading about. Some of it may be talking big just to kind of "find his place". He truly has not been himself or really felt like he has really good friends since he broke his neck and we moved here two years ago. It's been awful since then. Our county has a program called Act 53 which says we can have difficult child involuntarily committed to a D&A treatment center for 90 days (I think) so if it comes to that, we'll do it. I'll probably determine when it's time to go that route by talking with the PO's at the support group. They work with this stuff everyday and know a lot more than me and I trust them to give me good information. I don't want to get too ahead of myself by thinking difficult child has to go with one dirty drug test; however, I will admit that was kinda my first thought but after a few deep breaths I got past that it. Again, thanks for the support and I welcome all ideas and comments that may help...anything that may help me get to my difficult child! [/QUOTE]
