[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 554157, member: 59"] Welcome to our board and I'm glad you found us. Realizing that our child is on drugs and especially seeing the violence that comes with isawful, it gives us a pit in our stomachs and sends panic to our hearts. I understand your reluctance to involving the police. We had to face that also. In the end the violence was increasing and our daughter left us no alternative. There was a time when all I could think about was protecting her future. That turned into trying to protect her life. We had to involve the police and I was prepared to tell any judge I had to that my child was on drugs and needed help and I couldn't help her any longer. When will your son turn 18? Is he a senior in high school? I know it's important for him to finish school. You can't allow drug use in your home. If he is on drugs the air force will not take him anyway. If his drug use escalates he will have more serious problems than not getting into the air force. I'm not sure what leverage you have with him right now, and I certainly would not allow him in your home while he is actively using and being violent. You have some difficult decisions to make in what you will accept. He is making the choice to use drugs and therefore he is the one putting his future with the air force in jeopardy. by the way my difficult child was very nasty and violent when smoking pot. She was being tested frequently by an independant lab so we knew it was just pot, but there were times when I was afraid of her. Perhaps something was laced in the pot that didn't show up in tests but she was a different person and it did not make her mellow at all. You are in an awful place, I understand you are torn and not sure what to do. There are no easy answers and we all have to do what we feel is best in our heart. Nancy [/QUOTE]
