[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 509969, member: 59"] Welcome and I'm sorry you have had to come here but I'm glad you foudn us. You have gotten so much good advice from others and we have all been where you are now. You can file unruly charges against. him. If you find drug paraphanaia in his room call the police. All of this goes to documentation. We called the police on our difficult child many times . She was put on probation and it did help wiht managing things when she was younger 14-17. Sig is right, kicking your difficult child out is a last resort and cannot be done until he is a legal adult. But you also do not have to tolerate him using drugs in your home and being disruptive. We were lucky because the police in our community were very helpful and told us to call them whenever we needed help. The chances of him getting into legal trouble with his drug use is very high but worse of course is that it is very dangerous to him. Have you checked into drug treatment centers specifically for adolescents? It isn't true that someone has to want help to get helped. He is still a minor and doesn't get to make his own decisions on everything yet. It is not uncommon for bi-polars to also have alochol/drug problems. And that compounds thigs quite a bit. Is he currently seeing a doctor or on medications to manage his bi-polar? At some point his drug use will get him into legal trouble. It isn't fair that a parent should have to wiat for that to happen to get help. Hugs, Nancy [/QUOTE]
