Peregrinus, I would welcome your further comments. I do respect that the kid and his family are the ones with the final decisions. Could you please help me see how the outcome I envision is at risk of unwise enabling? Why do you see "tough love" as the better way to go? At this point I'm just trying to gather additional ideas and perspectives. The landlady's not returned our voice mail yet and the rock stars are still out painting the town red. So this is a perfect time for me to learn something new.
