[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 572145, member: 59"] There are several of us here whose difficult child's were in college and eventually flunked out or quit because of drug use. In my case our daughter lasted only one semester before she was arrested for drugs/alcohol and not invited back. We then tried community college to no success. We gave her an ultimatum to go for treatment or move out. She spent 60 days in a treatment center and two months in aftercare. She relapsed, we kicked her out of the house, she used 24/7 for the next couple months and finally entered a sober house where she stayed for 6 months. She relapsed, left there and is now living on her own in an apartment and works as a server in a sports bar, not a good atmosphere for an addict. You do not have to allow drug use in your home. I agree that it would be a good idea to find a support group. At some point you may have to draw the line in the sand, either go to rehab or move out. I'm very sorry, I know what you are going through. Nancy [/QUOTE]
