[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 26068, member: 1835"] Deb, I have to agree. I think I've mentioned before that we live in a bedroom community on a street where there are at least ten teens my son's age. A couple are honor-roll students in a private school, another has had mostly A's in public school, several have part-time jobs along with school, and one or two are average so-so students. However, all have smoked pot and most have tried other drugs, ecstacy in particular, I understand. Yet, despite that, except for one, they all function well and seem to limit their use to "recreational." My son, however, like yours, got to the point where his day began by planning ways to get money for his smoke, deciding whom he was going to smoke with, and where they were going to do it. And, as you and others may remember, my son also turned into a monster in pursuit of his single-minded goal to get high. I'm not certain how my son is doing other than he told me that he would have made his status last week if it hadn't been for the cold medicine issue. However, there's always that "if it hadn't been for...(fill in the blank), so I'm trying to stay very neutral and let him do the talking. His easy child said he's doing better in school, so I have a LITTLE glimmer of hope. I feel that, since my husband and I are completely out of the loop, he'll have to circle back around to himself for the first time in his life and look to himself for answers. I wonder... Hugs back to you! [/QUOTE]
