[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 35024, member: 2389"] Sorry if this sounds harsh but I have got to respond Your earlier post suggest that the group of parents you want to help just threw the poor kids out on the street, is that your opinion of parents that make difficult children leave the house? The parents don't care enough to "fix" the problem? In another post you say that if you send your son off it will change the family dynamics, I agree! He will see that you are his parent and not his friend. That parents teach the rules to live by and they must be followed. That smoking pot or cooking hash or whatever it is he is doing to get stoned is against the law and when you break the law you are punished. I am sorry to be so blunt, but Mikey you seem determined to see things through rosey glasses, when the painting is on the wall. Let me just end by saying that you have a easy child daughter that is soaking this all up!!! Regardless if you think she is sheltered from it, she knows much more than you think. You are letting her witness her bro getting away with disrupting family plans and worse getting high, she knows. In her eyes, won't she be able to do the same thing? You let her brother do it. I am sorry again for the bluntness, but I wish I had had someone be so blunt with me in the beginning, maybe we could have gotten where we are now sooner. You can't really compare glamorized t.v. shows to real life. They are in it for the ratings. I would also weigh the advice of the members of this board that have lived through these times more than I would the advice of docs. Again, I am speaking from experience of doing everything the clueless docs said!!! [/QUOTE]
