[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 282243, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome, Sabrina (beautiful name) :happy:. My very first question to you is has this child possibly been drinking and using drugs or telling you, "Um, I just TRIED pot." I had a drug addict daughter who DID straighten out big time (very big success story here), but we had a rocky time during her challenging teen years. However, she is a wealth of info on drug users and one thing they tend to do is to tell their parents, "I just smoke pot sometimes." This admission is a big red flag that more is going on, especially if they are displaying intolerable, rude, even violent defiance at home and even more especially if the behavior is either new or escalating. I am sorry you have to be here, but we will try hard to support you. My daughter just bought her first house with her boyfriend, and doesn't do drugs or drink anymore (or even smoke cigarettes). She is into organics and natural remedies--she doesn't even like to take Tylenol. She is in college for the second time, and works almost full time while also getting A's in her classes (she is going into Culinary Arts--Pastry Arts--very creative and gifted kid). She and I have a great, loving relationship. She is also not a NeuroSurgeon or rich, but is such a good person and I like her boyfriend too (they have been together seven years). My daughter is going to be 25 next month. She started using drugs at age 12 and stopped at 19. So, yes, kids who are rough can turn it around, if they are motivated to do so. It's not hopeless, but he does need help. [/QUOTE]
