[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 704154, member: 18958"] The idea of buying the other house was to create that distance. Except if I tell the truth, even in the other house, I want control. But Lil. How do I choose to let my son fall? This time you lucked out. Because he left. You did not push him. I have changed, Lil. I cannot do it anymore. Literally, I cannot tolerate him living close to the street, in danger. Would not the marijuana be better than this? And to complicate things, M seems to have morphed into Jabber. Irritated. Fed up with my son, but caring intensely that he become a good man. Willing to go along resentfully with what I want--I think he just wants to get some sleep--I have not slept in 2 nights for even 10 minutes. He is like: [I]Whatever it takes for me to get some sleep, do it.[/I] [I]Lil. I[/I] have the middle ground, the neutral ground (hypothetically), of the other property. Where I could in theory say, "live your life, your business," And know he is safe and secure. Or I could say, "smoke your marijuana, I give up." Or I could say, [I]what do you propose to make this work? What is your bottom line?[/I] Knowing that I could compromise on the marijuana. Really, the marijuana however destructive I believe it to be, is almost legal in my state. He had a medical marijuana card. Maybe that is the compromise. That his use of marijuana be legal; that he buy from a dispensary. [I]What do you think? I am asking for specifics here. Do I leave him on the street? When I forced him there?[/I] Is that the right or wrong thing to do? Am I regressing? I used to know things. Now I do not. [/QUOTE]
