Parents NEED to understand that drug use is much different than it was when they confronted (if they even did) it in their youth. They're adults, they can handle it, especially when the child in question is pursuing recovery. With that said, you're not my brother, and I you've told us how weird your parents are. :(

:ghug2

Well, my parents are Quakers. Liberal ones. I was raised Quaker (how often do you hear that?), and the people I grew up around were all pretty hippie-ish. You'd think my parents could handle it. And I think my parents mean well, they just have zero experience with it. They don't even drink, really, let alone do harder drugs. My mom has had the same bottle of wine, corked, since I was about 12. Someone gave it to her. Dad buys a 6-pack of Bud in April when he mows the lawn for the first time, and buys a second one sometime in June, when he finally finishes it off. I can't imagine having beer sitting around the house for more than a night, and even at that it's a 30 pack. I think my parents and I come from different worlds.

All the time...not really but Whittier (where I'm from) was founded by Quakers and there's still several churches here.

Ah, Whittier. Whittier College is a Quaker school; I thought about going there. Glad I didn't though. I don't think L.A. is my style... no large city is.

Yeah LA really isn't my style, I hate the smog, traffic, crime, etc. The only benefit to living here, imo, is the weather. I tend to like small big cities, if that makes any sense; spent 6 years in San Francisco and 2 in Barcelona.

6 months today for me, my fellow random ramblers.

6 months! :hug:

Congrats TSH! :ny9

Gneiss, y'all make excellent oatmeal. I'm a grits man but when I do eat oatmeal it's Quaker Brand. ;)

Mmmm, grits.

I like oatmeal, too, but it's very different from grits. :)

Congrats, TSH!

Love,

Lenina

My 6-year-old got me with a good April Fool's joke when he got home from school yesterday. He really pulled it off, too... had the right tone of voice and facial expressions and everything. Stinker!
