Parenting Issue

[LindseyChick]

Hey....

If you found out your kid was on drugs, he mixed in with the wrong crowd last fall, and you found out he's shooting heroin, and the girlfriend's mother called to let you know they've been stealing from her house and yours...and you knew that...and he came home for a while, appearing to be "clean" and you sent out some resumes, got the kid an interview. He dressed up and he is a good kid. That was Friday. On Saturday morning, I took him for new glasses... his are cracked. He spoke to his dad Saturday afternoon about going to the car show... and then Saturday evening, while you were sleeping, he took every Beatle CD you have, I have, and apparently hocked them for money to buy drugs. And then on Monday morning, there is a message on the answering machine that they're offering him THE JOB. Pays well, with a future! I called every cell phone number I have..called friends's mothers...come HOME, you got the job! I FORGIVE YOU! The girlfriend's mother called...he says you threw him out! NO, no.. I haven't seen him to throw him out. He did a stupid thing.. hurt ME.. but tell him to come home so he can accept this job. From what I understand, he got the message. Said he was starting at the new job on Thursday. But he hasn't got in touch... I hope he goes to the new job. My biggest worry now is when they sit down for lunch, he doesn't have one. Am I a mother to this boy or a fool?
