[QUOTE="Wakegirl, post: 578322, member: 15912"] Hello Karenvm! I'm sorry to hear of your struggles, yet I can totally relate to so much of what you typed. I'm a new member and it totally amazes me how many parents are experiencing so much of what I'm going through with difficult child. What is wrong with this generation??? It's horrifying. The only difference is that although my son has smoked pot, his main vice is synthetic weed, which can be bought at a store just across the stateliness. It angers me so. I've even gone as far as writing a letter to the Governor. It needs to be taken off the market! Anyway... It baffles me that you're having so much trouble getting him into rehab. Especially at the age of 17. Is the law different in your state? I know where I live, a parent has control until a child reaches the age of 18. Perhaps you could call a local drug therapy group, and they can advice to some places that don't require your sons consent. I know my sons therapist was very helpful with that. Even broke down the ones that would take difficult child's insurance, and the ones that would accept cash. I know Mississippi is a long drive for you, but I know of a great one that would take him next week. :) Nonetheless, my heart goes out to you and your family, and I'll pray that you find an answer soon.
