[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 516018, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome to the CD board. I'm sorry that you had to find us but glad that you did. We have several members who frequent this forum that have children who have used k2 and will have more technical knowledge for you. My difficult child's addictions were prescription pills and alcohol so I can't help much there. However, no matter what the addiction is, you are right to take a stand now. It will only get worse if you enable him. You have a perfect opportunity here. Tell him that he can not live in your house while he is using illegal substances. Period. His choice is to seek treatment (inpatient rehab followed by a sober living facility) or be homeless. Is your wife on the same page? If he hit her once, he will do it again. I hope that she understands that he needs help and letting him back into your home is the worst thing that you can do. As far as the charges at the head shop . . . of course they are his and he will deny it to the end. That's what addicts do. They lie. We have a saying . . .When an addict's lips are moving, he/she is lying. Others will come by with words of advice and support. You have found a wonderful place where people have already been through this or are currently going through what is happening with your son. I know that I couldn't have survived what we went through with my difficult child if I didn't have this wonderful place to turn to. Keep posting! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
