[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 44383, member: 2315"] Mikey I am so sorry that it came to this. Your son is definately an addict wheather he believes it or not. Where is he getting the money for his drugs? Does he work or is he on allowance? I think it is time to stop giving him any cash whatsoever. Not for lunch money nothing. When they are at this stage they will forgo the purpose of the cash given for necessities and buy drugs. So inadvertently we parents end up purchasing the thing we are trying to make them stop doing. I am saying this from personal experience. Also keep your credit cards and wallet locked up. That is the next progression for a kid deprived of his spending money. You say the battle is on and I totally support you in that. But please be aware that when they are drugging they have no conscience. Don't allow yourself to be further victimized by his drug behaviors. This is a hard battle to enter into. Be prepared for things you would not believe your son capable of. They tend to esculate when they realize you are standing your ground. -RM [/QUOTE]
