[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 572634, member: 59"] Hi Karen and welcome. You story is very much like many of ours. That's how it starts, drinking a smoking pot as a teen, and usually progresses to more. Add depression on top of that and you are walking a tightrope. I definitely would not pay for him to go to college at this point. Take it from me, my daughter was doing exactly what your son is doing and as soon as she moved into college she drank and smoked pot 24/7, never went to one class and was arrested for drugs/alcohol six weeks later. Long story cut short, she is now 21, living in an apartment, has just been fired from her umteenth job and is on food stamps. She was in a treatment center and sober house and relapsed and has decided she is not an addict. The best chance you have at getting him help is now when he is not 18. Is he in any type of therpay right now? Nancy [/QUOTE]
