[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 572052, member: 13882"] I'm so sorry. I know too well how you feel. The only thing you can do (depending on if where you live, 18 is legal adulthood) is not tolerate his drug use while he is living there. You set the rules in your home. If he doesn't see a problem flunking out of school, and working to support drug use, perhaps he may need a serious wake up call. Make drugs HIS problem - not yours. Something like fully supporting himself - rent and all, outside your home - if he chooses to live with drugs as the major pursuit in his life. One semester of school and the tuition that goes along with it is just the first of many things he will throw away as long as drugs and that lifestyle is his primary concern. It's so sad, but true. I'd suggest also that you attend support groups for yourself to help you through these difficult steps. Come here for a reality check, too - you are always welcome, though I'm sorry you are going through this. [/QUOTE]
