[QUOTE="DDD, post: 259838, member: 35"] I don't think it is actually appropriate for someone who was unsuccessful to "give advice" to someone seeking success. :blushing: on the other hand, you asked. :winking: Your son is 18. He will be graduating in a matter of months, I assume. You and authorities have not been successful in getting him to stop the weed. He is "politely" giving the finger to everyone. As a parent you are rightly proud of the "good kid" parts that he has from the nurturing and love you have raised him with. So...what do I think you should do? I think you need to sit down and decide will you or will you not tolerate the stress of having a drug user in your home. Most healthy parents here make the decision that they will [B]not [/B]live with the addiction atmosphere. If your heartfelt choice is to live a healthy life in your home then you need to tell your difficult child "son, although we love you, we are not prepared to live a lifestyle that includes drug use". Your graduation is on xyz. You need to make plans and choices on where you will live after that date. We will be glad to help you seek out alternative living arrangements in advance so it will not be unnecessarily stressful." He has a choice. Stay at home and follow the rules. Move into his own home and follow his own rules and take his own consequences. If you don't waiver...he'll know in his heart that he has to choose one way or the other. Only he can decide. Sending hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
