[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 578494, member: 15801"] Karen, You have gotten great advice here... Unfortunately sometimes it takes getting involved in the legal system to then get help... or to get the young person the motivation to get help. Jail or treatment is sometimes the choice they face. So at this point I agree with everything that has been said.... lay down your rules, make it clear if he gets in trouble then all you will do is help him get treatment.... my guess is if he gets in trouble then he may decide treatment is a good option. And yes call the police any time things get out of hand... especially when things happen like your 9 year old finding pot.... that will get CPS called by the police. Use the systems, as flawed as they are, to your advantage. It is crazy you cant insist your 17 year old into treatment. It is also crazy that you can have no access to any of your 18 year old medical records without their permission... so once they are 18 no treatment center will talk to you without your child signing the release forms!!
