[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 619851, member: 15796"] First, I am sorry, I don't know your background... But from reading your post, I can say that you must first understand that you are powerless over his addiction. You cannot stop anyone from using. That is something that took me a long time to learn. If you keep him locked up, it could backfire. Give him too much freedom and things could go awry. I would make rules that you [I]can[/I] contol. Curfew, respect, rules of the house, etc. School functions aren't a bad thing. Perhaps drug test him when he returns from outings until you feel that you can trust him? [/QUOTE]
