[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 653870, member: 1550"] No, Terry. He isn't too impuslive to know what he's doing and he knows reality from a lie. This is how ALL people act when they are doing illegal activities, especially drugs. I don't know anyone who did anything other than drugs illegally, to be fair, so that is all I know. But when one is involved in this stuff, their words are not even worth listening to. He has done nothing that indicates he has turned a corner and you are smart to be on guard and to protect your things, although one day you might get tired of having him there while you have to lock your own doors. Impulsivity is not a good trait. More impulsive children get into adult trouble when they grow up. But many don't and your son is past the age when impulsivity can be blamed for his behavior. I doubt medications will help him anymore since he also uses illegal drugs. A few good days used to fool me too. Remember, it fooled me into letting Daughter stay home while hubby and me and the other kids went to a waterpark hotel. She was supposed to just care for the dogs, no friends over, stay in. She had been so good, we believed in her. We wanted to believe in her. We came home early. A drug party was in full swing. It had all been a carefully laid out plan to make herself look good so we'd trust her. That broke my heart too. I get it. The good news is she DID DID DID straighten out. Terry, a better mother you have never seen. She won't even take an aspirin...she is into natural stuff. And this could be your son too one day, but you have to be smart and not let a few good days make you happy and secure, like we did. You have to make him face the consequences of his actions and I wouldn't even have long talks with him when they are just crapola from him. Why is it ok that he took pot even if it was two days ago???? I don't get it. I'd be much harder on him than you're being, which, of course, is because you are you and I'm me ;) Just don't be so trusting that you get major time burned like we did. It's up to him to change.
