[QUOTE="DDD, post: 600406, member: 35"] I, too, have been there done that so I understand and I sympathize. By reading current and old posts (including archives) you will get a complete overview of how many caring parents have faced this issue. The worst part of the problem is that the only person who can truly solve it is your son and motivation to quit very rarely comes from within a teen. Sigh. One factor that you need to explore is what the rules are in your community. There are areas where if any drugs are found in a home...the homeownership comes into jeopardy. Frankly I think that law is often subjectively enforced BUT this is your sister's home. That makes it more of frightening issue. We sent our grandson to three different substance abuse residential programs to no avail. Finally the only rule I could give him that was enforceable was "If you bring drugs into our home you will no longer be welcome to live here." Due to a horrible accident our actual pot battle ended when he was eighteen and sustained brain injuries. We all grasp how painful this is for you and hope you find peace in the stance you choose to take. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
