[QUOTE="compassion, post: 220001, member: 6393"] I am dealing with tonight a situation where my husband sho tends to enable and give in to my difficult child, 15. I am having behavioral contracts drawn up weekly fcusing on recovery. She is 3 weeeks without drugs/drinking and getting very irratble and wanitng to not do the healthly stuff (exercise, AA, wholesome activites) She waned to go to over age 18 club tnogiht to hear a popular band. I had said no, she already has done four shows this month, including ne on Tuesday: my limit is once a month. Also, at these clubs, you have to have anadult if you are under 18. It is disruptive to our family as her freinds, parents NEVER take them, it is alwasy my husband. Tuseday, I dropped her friend off at the club. I am sticking t the boundaires but a real issue has been and continues to be my husband gives in and allows difficult child to manipulate him as he is afraid she will get antsy etc. There are other ways to channel her energy. I got very frustrated as I am relly trying to abide by the contract and support her recovery. Today she refused to go toAA. I did a meeting with her wher I read lit. t her. Shw qA NOT EXERCISING OR DONG HER MUSIC-SHE WAS OVERLY PREOCCUPIED WITH THE CLUB SCENE. Thanks for listening. Any feedback is appreciated. I am exhausted from trying to do the h ealthy stuff for her and her addict is pushing fr the unhalthy stuff. Compassion [/QUOTE]
