[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 486218"] I know how they badger, believe me, but I don't agree with you letting him use the car when you know that he is a drug abuser. I wouldn't even help my child get a license because I knew she was a drug user and no way did I want it on my conscience if she killed someone or herself. To give you my honest opinion? I think you need to get a LOT tougher and let him hit bottom. You tried and buckled at the first sign of trouble. Yes, he got arrested. A decision that he made that he has to deal with the consequences for. You are rescuing him and he is thanking you by stealing from you. I'm sorry - I know the desperation of wanting to get them help. But experience has shown me that if they are not invested in it, it will do nothing but waste your money. I sure hope he hits bottom soon and really wants change. I am still waiting for my difficult child to get there.... [/QUOTE]
