[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 616991, member: 1550"] One thing though. If he is using drugs, he won't tell you the truth. As my ex-drug using daughter tells anyone who will listen, "Never believe a druggie. They lie." She would stare us in the eyes with tears and lie. She would lie when caught. Drug users do not tell the truth. That puts the onus on you to find out if he is using or not. Otherwise, I'd assume he is. My daughter's money supply was cut off. She still used drugs. For one thing, she would steal small amounts of money from us that we didn't notice. For another, her friends were glad to share. My daughter always stayed home too. She was homeschooled. But she found ways to sneak out at night and we didn't find out for years. She also had a stash at home. I guess she had visitors when we weren't there or late at night when we were sleeping. There is no way to watch them all the time and they are sneaky. I hope your son's candid discussions were his truth. I don't know that they were nor do you. He may have put on a good face to get you to trust him. My daughter tried that and was having great success with us until she was busted, which shocked us. Can't tell you how much. Words can't describe it. We had believed she was clean. Don't let your guard down. What you hope is true may not be true and then you'll really be in for a bad fall. You can't know that your boy didn't use drugs. I didn't think my daughter could either. I thought it was impossible because we watched her so closely. I didn't work. I was there. But, yeah, we did sleep and a lot of stuff went down when that was going on. [/QUOTE]
