[QUOTE="klmno, post: 508887, member: 3699"] in my humble opinion, I think this is where you need to step back and not contact girlfriend or him, except for maybe a weekly check in just to make sure he's ok. He doesn't think he has a problem right now- he's young and this is typical. No amount of people telling him he does is going to change that. He wants you to be his parent either way and you can, without enabling, by stepping back and letting him find out for himself if he can have the life HE wants while still using and going down this road. You don't have to support it, condone it, or anything else in the process but you can still let him know you love him and care for him, but really, I would suggest stopping the push for tx right now and let him find some answers for himself. As long as you are providing the reward or consequence or trying to push him to see what you think is obvious to you, in his mind it's going to come across as you trying to control his life. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
