[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 688788, member: 1550"] I called the cops on my 15 year old daughter because I caught her smoking pot. I think. Mentally ill or not, your son partly does these things because, in the end, he knows you will take care of him. It doesn't work. And in my opinion in his temper and drinking he is actually getting worse or at least not improving. Also this is my opinion only, but I'm strong in it. My adopted kids have alcoholism and drug abuse in their DNA. I have casually but pointedly told them they are at higher risk for addiction all their lives. Over my dead and buried body, and even not then, would I ever encourage them to drink by driving them to a bar. I don't care about age, what they say, anything. No. I think your son is at high risk for alcoholism and it's not a good sign that he self medicated with it after a hard day of his own making. It's an addictive behavior. Sonic has never drank. He doesn't want to. Jumper hasn't drunk before this year and she MAY drink responsibly now as she has a nice 24 year old boyfriend who will sit and drink one or two beers. He does not drink to get drunk. We don't know if Jumper drinks at all, we have never smelled it on her or seen her drunk. It isn't a necessary right of passage to get drunk. If your situation were mine, I would be no part of it and not allow son drinking in my house. I allow Jumpers boyfriend to drink in the house because he is so self-controlled/mature. in my opinion...it is different. Sometimes we have to make our kids hate us in order to do what is best for them. It's God awful to hear your kid hating you, and I cried each time I heard it, but it ended up good. Ok, i said it and I hope it's not hurtful and if it is I'm so sorry. I'm done. I do think everything is harder with an only child. Praying hard for you and yours. Always hoping for the best. [/QUOTE]
