[QUOTE="wantmysonback, post: 541118, member: 14919"] I want to thank all of you for your advice and encouragement. This website has been so good for me. I am thankful for all of you who take the time to respond. TL, yes, we will be sending the rent/utility payment directly to the apartment manager. I agree 100% that being the drug police doesn't work. We've tried and it got us nowhere. I googled al-anon and it sounds like it is more for alcohol issues? Is there a separate group for drug use or does it include parents of both? Princess, wow, you are right. Your story could be mine. When I found this website I knew it would be a link to others walking the same path. Our son has been with his girlfriend for almost 2 years. They met first semester of college. We love her and think she is great for our son. My husband and I had a long talk with our son last night after he got home from work. It was a great conversation that didn't escalate into an argument and I was very grateful for that. We talked to him about how bright his future is and how we see him married to his current girlfriend (he has already talked about proposing so they can get married right when they graduate) and how we know he doesn't want to jeopardize his future with her with his current choices. I could tell that he was really thinking about what we said. I asked him what she felt about his recent choices and he didn't come right out and say it but I get the impression she is tired of it. We felt encouraged after our talk with him but we've had many of the same talks, think we are getting through and then we find out he is still getting high. [/QUOTE]
