[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 531637, member: 1550"] I think you did the right thing. My daughter who used to abuse drugs (and is a wealth of information now t hat she has quit) has told me that "if you use, you sell." And she now tells me that she was also in danger...people were out to hurt her. So it's definitely possible, yet it is his fault because of his lifestyle (just as it was my daughter's). We made Daughter leave because the cops kept coming over (she had also already been on probation twice and nothing had changed). My two yougest were afraid of her because she would get violent when she was high. She even put her hand through the window and both of the little guys were hysterical. Once she left, she called her big brother and he agreed to let her stay in his basement under very strict conditions, and, since s he knew how conservative he was, she listened to him! He was in another state so she cut her ties with the thugs. She is clean now going on almost nine years, has a college degree, and her own house (with her boyfriend). She has a good career. in my opinion keeping them home while they self-destruct makes it easy for them to continue. According to my daughter she would not have quit if we hadn't made her leave. We did not know she would end up with her very straight brother when we made her leave...she actually had contempt for his lifestyle. But that's how she coped with it. They all seem to find places to stay. They can always come back if they decide to seek treatment and cut out the dope. Your son talking to you that way...using that word...there is no reason for you to put up with that. I know how hard it is. (((Hugs)))! [/QUOTE]
