[QUOTE="Cheryl1, post: 432523, member: 12065"] Wow, thanks for the quick responses. I am so happy I finally found anyone who can relate to my situation. To answer some questions; A. He has been thru rehab, sober living and 1/2 way house out of state. B. He is home now for a month or so, is in the process of getting a job and seems to have been doing really well. C. He told me last night, he took a couple of "hits" of pot 9 days ago and was remorseful. Said he was guilty so he could not bear the whole lying again to us, so he confessed. D. He is in an intense outpatient program and he told them as well. (had no choice, he is tested weekly) and is now on contract with them for 30 days. E. No mental illness involved. He does know he can not live here if he goes down that road again. I am confused as to why he did tell us last night, so I think I need to believe it was the whole trust thing. Ughhhhhhhh...not sure where to go from here or how to handle this. I actually punished him and took his car and phone away. I have to laugh because he did say to me, "Ma, you know i am a man and your punishing me?" Although, he did not get angry he just went to bed! Today we drove him to his outpatient and he said he is happy he got it off his chest and we need to do what we feel necessary. He is taking his punishment but in reality, can I actually ground him for the rest of his life? Well, thanks for listening and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Cheryl [/QUOTE]
