[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 464454, member: 84"] He's no where near ready for rehab yet, it doesn't sound like. But the more you practice detaching, the more it will help you and the less it will help him to continue the behaviors. I would not have offered why I didn't like his friend Ben. (they don't listen to our opinions much anyway) And I wouldn't waste my time holding Ben accountable for something difficult child did. While [B]we[/B] know a [B]real[/B] friend would do what they could to not let him drive drunk, these kids are still of an age where they firmly believe they are invincible, as in nothing bad can ever happen to them, it's always the other guy. Not to mention I've met my fair share of drunks who were impossible to keep from behind the wheel, no matter how hard you try. In the end, only difficult child is responsible for difficult child's behavior. I'm glad you let him face the consequences of his actions. The sentencing doesn't sound like much of anything to me, but then.....I don't have much experience in that part of things. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
