    I couldn't remember if the CO was at our hall this week or not. I panicked a bit and said, "I don't know. I don't think so."

    I think he's on to me...

    Once they get used to the idea that you're not going back (and you get used to the idea that they are used to the idea) - it's very liberating. There might be a bit of pain to get to that point but it's worth it.

    If he brings it up again (like vomit), then you can say that because it was the week of the CO's visit (even if it wasn't - say it was) - they changed the meetings around - and that is why you were a bit confused.

    Play it off. Don't panic.

    You're allowed to miss meetings. Just be honest.

    Dad: Did you have a meeting last night?

    You: I assume so, but I didn't go.

    Dad: Why not?

    You: I had other things to do.

    If he keeps pushing you're gonig to have to man up and tell him you're old enough to decide for yourself when to skip meeting and when to attend.
