[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 704125, member: 17720"] You have a lot of different things going on right now, Copa. The communication style/conflicts with M, thoughts about your mother, your son disregarding your agreement, how disrespected you feel about him doing so, etc. They all affect one another. But I think the key issue is the clean drug test. This is non-negotiable for you and M. You and M have determined, based on many attempts and much experience, that with marijuana in the picture your efforts to help him move toward independence are severely hampered, if not completely wasted. I assume, after so many attempts to make this work, that your son understands why the clean drug test is a prerequisite to your assistance? Do you think your son doesn't accept why you feel the way you do about him smoking? Or is it a question of lack of respect for your rules? Or maybe he is just too short-sighted? You say that you want him to take responsibility for having [U]failed himself[/U], rather than having misled you, disrespecting you, etc. Do you think your son sees it that way? [/QUOTE]
