[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 548625, member: 59"] He is running off to his friends and disappearing to do drugs. His temper is bad because when you put an obstacle in front of him and his drugs he panics and gets angry. This is only going to escalate. He needs treatment. It is essential that you and your husband get on the same page or it won't work. I suggest you both make an appointment with a drug counselor to get advice and hopefully convince your husband of the seriousness of this. There came a point when our daughter was 18-19 when we had to make her leave because she was abusing alcohol/drugs. We actually had to not let her back in the house one day when she left and after she banged on the door for a very long time and kicked it and screamed we called the police and they came and made her leave. She ended up living wityh a heroin addict neighbor boy and his family until she finally broke down 6 weeks later and agreed to treatment. I do not believe this is a phase with your son. I believe he is addicted to drugs and his behavior is out of control. Have you checked into drug treatment programs in your area? You can tell him he either enters treatment or leaves your home and then stick to it. Check with the police in your area to make sure you can legally kick him out at 18, we could and our police were very helpful and supportive. I'm sorry he ruined your vacation. His behavior sounds so much like our daughter's. It is the drugs and alcohol that is speaking, not your son. I'm sorry but this will not get better on its own and sometimes we have to force the issue. Nancy [/QUOTE]
