[QUOTE="stalln4x, post: 558656, member: 15244"] Toughlovin, I just wanted to say thanks for the replies over in SA. I have a cousin your son's age who, as I found out pretty recently, didn't finish high school either and has been having substance problems. I guess he did rehab and is now in a halfway house--my mom told me and said she wanted to know it wasn't just me who has problems. I can also say that a lot of people, both who I've been in college with and from high school, had their rebelious drug adventure phase (myself included, with a little less adventure) and eventually found that it just gets old and there's a point where you realize that the substances and cheap thrills aren't satisfying but merely pacifying. Sounds like he's getting the benefit (?) of starting to learn to fend for himself, which I wish I had started having to do a little bit at that age but I've unfortunately kind of sucked my family into the wake of some of the chaos I've been creating. by the way, I'm taking you and Nancy's suggestion of seeing if my therapist could help talk to my parents about this and am going to send him a letter. I'll say a prayer for your difficult child! [/QUOTE]
