[QUOTE="KFld, post: 32884, member: 2442"] Mikey Aren't you glad you found us???? Just responding to the part you posted about what you and your wife did growing up, and grew out of it. This to me determines a normal teenager and a difficult child. I thought the same thing for a few years, trying to ignore my difficult child's pot use and thinking we did it and grew out of it and we our now responsible productive adults, so I'm sure the same will happen with him. My son went to alternative school, got 2nd honors, worked everyday, paid us his car payments, came home on time every night, until the day he was arrested for posession of narcotics and we discovered he was a full blown heroin addict and had to quit his job to go away to rehab. I totally understand where you are coming from, hoping it passes and goes away and that all the good stuff he does takes over, but just be very careful not to be missing signs of much more important stuff. I thought my son was doing so well. He was even getting community service awards at school and his teachers, everyone, thought he was doing so well. Maybe you are right. Maybe he is starting to show signs of change and this will all come together with patience and trying to earn each others trust. I hope and pray for all of your sakes this is exactly what happens. Every child doesn't have the same end results and some snap out of it quicker then others. Just keep your eyes and ears open!! I was totally blind sided by what my son was doing, and it was right in our home under our noses as I was trying to give him privacy, respect and trust. He was very good at playing the game. That's all I have to say [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
