[QUOTE="katya02, post: 231962, member: 2884"] Welcome, Missy. I'm late to the conversation but wanted to extend a welcome and say, good job! You've done everything a loving parent can do for a child and are still there for your son. He's made some bad choices since starting college and now has the responsibility of changing direction, or not. You were right to not stand for drugs or drug use in the house, especially with younger children there. Your strong stand will only help the chances that your son will turn his life around. It's good that your son has gotten out of his environment. My difficult child is very susceptible to environment and, since he has dropped all his alcohol and drug using friends, has been able to stay clean and sober. He'll have to figure out how to choose his friends in future, and how to be around people who are having a drink and still say 'no'. Your son now has a chance to meet new, non-using friends; hopefully he'll take the opportunity to associate with different types of people, and make different decisions, than he did at college.
