[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 275493, member: 1550"] Missy, I got the same idiotic advice with my drug using daughter. I suggest going to narc-anon. I feel you'll get more concrete, realistic help and not so much psychobabble, which doesn't help drug abusing kids. My guess is your son is doing more than pot and drinking. Most of the time, they are, if they get to this point. I wouldn't sweat over the job. Until he is clean, he isn't going to hold a good job. It has to be the other way around. You are doing a good job. Don't believe everything you are told, even by therapists. They tend to have their own ideas--some are very liberal and give out silly advice. We were told to trust our daughter more although she'd lie to us with tears in her eyes and steal us blind. We disregarded that advice. [/QUOTE]
