[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 530801, member: 1550"] My daughter held a job while she was doing meth and used the money for clothes and drugs. At least, even while high, she was off the streets (by the way, we thought it was only pot too...don't take anything for granted). As for th e car, I wouldn't let him get a license until he is clean. My daughter got into three accidents while intoxicated. The last one was so severe that she was sued for $15,000, which s he was still paying off even after she quit using drugs. Even pot and driving is dangerous and it is rather in my opinion unlikely that other substances are not involved...at the very least alcohol, but pot is a gateway drug. I also wouldn't blame yourself for his choices. Kids grow older and their peers often become the ones they follow the most. Do what you can to get him help. I don't think, however, that unless it is court ordered you can force him into a rehab at his age. I'm really sorry you are going through this. Be sure to take care of yourself and not get lost in his problems to the point where you ignore the good things and people in your life. [/QUOTE]
