[QUOTE="WhiteDeer5, post: 502647, member: 13710"] We used a drug test kit that test urine for 12 different drugs, we got it from Walgreens. We suspect Clyde must have been using something before he even comes and his father just didnt catch him. That's why we tested him on the first night he was here. We caught him by surprise and my husband followed him in and watches him. The result showed him to be clean. But I guess he could have prepared for it in advance. Second time was few months later when he starts to sneak out or staying out past curfew a lot lately. Same thing again! But like as you say, he is very smart, so he could have prepared for it and stays on top of it all of the time, but again I have never seen him under influence or any sign beside his behave. May I should try the hair test instead? His father told me that Clyde normally doesnt sleep much but seems to be sleeping less and less as time goes by. He could be at home, just sitting in one spot reading until 3 or 4 in the morning then go get in two or three hours of sleep then get up and go on a run before head off to school. Sometime he just doesnt sleep at all. Hes 16 years old now. Im really afraid to try force him into any residential treatment program. I dont know what hes capable of at all. If it was other kids, Id have considers it, but with Clyde, I really dont know if thats a good idea at all. Yeah, it was really tough when Clyde come home. It was a emotional roller coast for everybody. I feel really bad for thinking that Clydes father was not being a good father. Before Clyde come, I thought Clydes father just gave up and I totally lose respect for him. Now I feel really sorry for him, I cant imagine how hard it must be to try being a single father, moving around frequently, and having to deal with a son like Clyde. It is so hard to look at Clyde sharing a great moment with the family, smiling, laughing and telling us about things he have done or seen, but yet knowing that hes more than capable of pull off whatever he want to one way or other and have done and seen more than most would have in their whole life time. Clydes father and I lived together when he was studying for his phd, but over time we just want different thing and we just dont love each other as we used to. So we went on our own path, we made an arrangement for both of us to have some time with our children, but our daughter cannot handle the life style, so Clyde end up living with his father full time and our daughter living with me full time. I will check in as I really need help. I just dont know what to do any more and am really worried. [/QUOTE]
