[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 276615, member: 1550"] These are my honest thoughts as the mother of an ex-drug user who thought her daughter was only drinking (a little) and smoking pot. Your son's behavior is of somebody doing a lot more than pot. Kids don't usually steal, drop out of school, and have no conscience because of pot, but they can if they dabble in more serious drugs. You have had two heart attacks. That is serious. You deserve some peace of mind and a peaceful life. It sounds sadly like your son may have inherited some of your ex's personality problems and temperament. From what I've lived t hrough, I would tell you to join narc-anon. Trust me, it's not just pot. If he knows the ins and outs of tests, he certainly is at least probably snorting stuff from over the counter (and, by the way, it can kill you). But he could also be dabbling in cocaine or speed. My daughter was and we didn't know it either. Maybe he isn't, but I doubt it. We didn't find any indication of anything other than pot either, but now that our daughter is clean she told us just how heavily she was into drugs. I think you should give stick to the deadline. He cleans up or leaves. If not, you may not be alive to help hiim in case he DOES want to clean up his act one day. Make friends and find your own interests. I am not near family either, but I am amazed and heartened to find friends who can substitute for family. In fact, my family isn't that great--the friends are better. There are potential friends everywhere! Go out and live your own life. You deserve it. Your son is self-destructing and taking you with him. Go to narc-anon and don't let him pull you down with him. That's my advice and my daughter would agree with it. We talk about drugs a lot. She has been clean now for seven years and is in college (finally). Drug users are very clever and very deceitful. Please don't let him pull the wool over your eyes...or jeopardize your health. [/QUOTE]
