[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 555261, member: 59"] Welcome to our little corner of sanity in the insane world of substance abuse. Your story is just like mine although my difficult child began smoking pot at 14. By the time she was 18 she was drinking and smoking pot 24/7, was suspended from her first semester in college and in a substance abuse treatment venter and sober house for the next 8 months. She too left out home with the exact same parting words your son used on you. She was a very angry young lady because it became clear to her that we would no longer allow her drug use in our home and her free ride was over. I don't know what will happen with your son, he may continue with his drug use and it may escalate and consequences may catch up with him. Or he may outgrow it and finally have to take responsibility for his child. Either way my suggestion is for you to keep the path of communication open, let him know you love him and are worried about him, and that you are there to help him when he decides to get help. In the meantime it would be good if you could find a parent support group in your area. Families Anonymous is a great support. Nancy [/QUOTE]
