Geez get over it,Kev. You are NOT always right:)
I just wish that you were in the same room with me, when I "suggested" that her keys might be somewhere else besides in the house. She raised her voice at me (although I didn't deserve it), and INSISTED that they could NOT BE ANYWHERE ELSE but in the house. I didn't let her attitude towards me get to me, and understand what she's going through with the passing of her Mom. I lost my Mom 9 years ago to cancer @ the age of ONLY 62, and I never got "short" with her. If I did, her understanding would (most likely) NOT have been reciprocated, and she would remember FOREVER....what I said and how I said it to her. ......OK.....I'm done with it;).

Morning Everyone ! More trouble with the kid even down in Florida in Detox. He almost got into a fight and supposedly got kicked out. He supposedly got into a Halfway house with outpatient Detox and says he's still going to the rehab. I guess I'll find out more today. I can't do this anymore. He's killing me ! I'm not bringing him home this time unless he completes the rehab. So if anything deviates from what's supposed to be I guess he's going to be homeless in Florida. Sound mean but sometimes it takes something like that for someone to "get it". I can only hope he was telling the truth and everything still goes as it was set up. We just had another young one die from an overdose up here last Sunday. It's got to epidemic proportions with this particular drug now. Even so much that I've seen it on the news that the FDA has even realized it's at epidemic proportions. We all have our problems in life to deal with so I do the best I can. Hope you guys have a good day !

Breazy sometimes we don't see it but letting the kids fall flat often times helps them realize that they're loved and maybe what they're doing is something that needs to change. Not getting preachy here but the prodigal son fell face first in pig shit and his father welcomed him back with open arms when the time was right, and it will be right for u and your son when he realizes that this lifestyle is killing him. Staff removed drug references, whatever that stuff causes more problems than we even realize. Love y'all, I've been kinda needy lately myself and I do apologize, my biggest fault I know and something I've got to get a grip on. Instead of saying "hey look at me" I need to look at others and not focus on my bull shit. That said I'm going to TRY to sleep today so I can go to work and then get a couple more days off.

Yes, at the point now(I've been there with daughter) to start the tough love, hurt it may....but somethings have to change directions, you have done everything you possible could. You have to let him figure this out now on his own. He either wants(and is ready) to get clean ....or not.

Thanks LW;)!......I could ONLY WISH that I have as solid of a relationship as you and Liz do. I have no problem with what you say, as I usually do all those things anyways, most of the time. Like most people......maybe I could get it right, the second time.....(if it should happen that way). I DO appreciate the things that my wife does (when she does them), and I tell her so too. I come from a family of VERY STUBBORN men. My Dad is stubborn. My grandfather was even MORE stubborn than him. Here's a little story.......

When I was about 18, I drove down to Florida with a couple of my friends. We were in Orlando and I told one of my friends that if I didn't stop up to Daytona and see my grandparents (and they found out that I was down there), that they would NOT be too happy with me. So, we took a ride up to Daytona. I stopped the car in front of their house, got out, and said "Hey Pop!" (to my grandfather who was walking across his yard). He glanced up, looked at me, and said an UNENTHUSIASTIC "hey"......then continued to walk into his garage/workshop. My grandmother came outside. I said "hello" to her, and asked her what was wrong with my grandfather? She replied...."YOU DON'T KNOW!?"......I was like....Whhhhaaaaatttttttt? She continued...."When we were up last time @ your parents house (in CT) you walked RIGHT BY US and didn't say hello or anything. I had NO idea WTH she was talking about, and thought that MAYBE I did, but if I did, it had NOTHING to do with them, and was probably my job or GF that had me in a bad mood. I took the high road (and even though I shouldn't have, and should've just told them that they're BOTH NUTS for holding a grudge against me, for something that was NOT about them, and if I did do it, was NOT my intention to disrespect them)....I went into the garage and apologized to my GF. If I hadn't had done that.....he (they) would have NEVER spoken to me again!......They are/were THAT stubborn!

Funny that you mention eggs, LW. My GGF (my GF's father) would have eggs for breakfast every morning (from the story that my Dad told me). If the eggs that my GGM made for him were NOT PERFECT......My GGF would SEND THE GLASS PLATE, eggs and all, sailing across the room like a Frisbee....(true story). So on that note......I might be the LEAST stubborn male in my family......(including my 2 brothers). If my wife only knew how lucky that she is.........

I do REALLY hope that EVERYTHING works out, and gets better, for you and your son!......I can't imagine how tough it must be. My son is only 9 years old now, and that is one of my greatest fears for us, as he gets older.

There are two type of people able to fuck Marines and get away with it. Fellow Marines and corpsmen.

Since I had more common sense to NOT sign up for the Marines I went the later route. But do subscribe to the old Marine point of view the judicious use of violence can and does correct issues in the future.


*some of the best advice I got were from a seabee who's brother was a Marine in the south pacific... a pop or smack with a "don't!" or "think about it!" It did save me a truckload of disfiguring injury and pain later in life.
Not saying I did not have my hold my beer moments but they sire as hell were not dancing with Darwin.

When my kids were growing up, I worked as a full-time musician, certified pro audio consultant and worked part-time in a grocery store; then, as a sous-chef... my ex ran a deli in a grocery store.

We sent them both to private school (in VA). I may be a bleeding heart liberal politically, yet I still signed the permission slip at the school they attended that permitted the school administrators carte blanche on corporal punishment.

I do not believe in child abuse. However, if you want life lessons to be remembered via shocking reality, my father's strap against my BVDs made sure that I would be responsible, and accountable for my bad behavior.

This occurred for only the errors that were the most grave, on my part. My mother never laid a hand on me, or my brother.

My grandfather picked me up by my left ear, and kicked me in the @$$ (age 7) for turning his slotted screwdriver into an accidental shiv on his old-school, hand-cranked grinding wheel.

I loved watching the sparks fly off of the grinding wheel, as I held the screwdriver there. Grandpa ended up slicing his thumb, when he tried to get a screw through some wood for the garden trellis.

My mother, however, put Grandpa in his place very quickly. He never touched me like that, again (aside from a whack-on-the-@$$ every once awhile).

I had a cauliflower ear for almost three weeks, and a bruise from his heel on my posterior...

When I was a teenager and dabbling in things that smoked, and things named after window parts that altered your consciousness - I hid in the woods. All the 'hip' kids didn't care where they 'partook'...

I knew that what I was doing was wrong. It took me thirty-plus years to correct it - now, my only vice is vaping between 3-6 mg nicotine out of a great mod setup.

If vaping had been around back then, things may have been different for me. The sensation of taste, with the olfactory parts contributing scent, with taste and dense vapor satisfaction - wow. Keep your chin up, @Breazy_Com, or anyone here that may be having those kinds of problems on their own.

Find a support group - do whatever you can, because times have changed - the bad things that are available are mix of the old, and new school varieties. The parents of today have their hands tied behind their backs, because of child abuse cases that the media circus has brought attention to, and as I wrote earlier - child abuse is wrong, period. Yet, when parents are only permitted to manage their children, rather than rear, or raise their children - many things that were commonplace years ago, have disappeared. Ouch! My soapbox just caved in. Enough of me.

@LOveWerks and @Liz Wonder
Completely agree...!!!

Vape on

I feel bad he lost his mom over a year ago.
But knowing the background and how much he blew on drugs, cars, bikes, booze, and bullshit my sympathy is neg zero fucks.

Hell his ex wife was salt of the earth and awesome, his old crew of buds got wicked pissed on how he treated her and when he finally booted her out for not taking his mental and verbal abuse we went with her.

funny story.
Mom works downtown where it is aggro panhandler central.
Every day sever times a day this wasted looking she thing panhandling for paper money... try and give change she will drop it on the ground and berate you for being "a cheap ass".. then rant about you not giving a fuck about the homeless.
two weeks ago mom saw the same woman leave a VERY expensive bit of property and get into a new still dealer stickers on the window BMW while packing a designer purse dog. the next day she approached mom asking for money...

Mom screamed in her face "Sell your BMW and fucking purse mutt instead of begging!"

So I explained to mom about my bud's gofundme... he jaw was on the floor.
I showed her the ad and the first words out of her mouth was "Is he fucking high?"
she agrees something smells off about his ad and explanation of his desire to get free money... it does not pass her sniff test.
