[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 729997, member: 15032"] Welcome My son was also diagnosed with CD at age 15. I was told by the folks here that the diagnosis of CD is more of a placeholder. Actually the research I did brought me here which was a Godsend. However I also found that CD is not so bad and that many do fine and move on so I was hopeful - at that time. However....our son continued to go off the rails (see my signature) for 7 years no matter how I spun my wheels doing everything under the sun and moon to reroute him and assist. Yes 7 years. Ugh. He is also our youngest and we have been empty nesters (and loving it!) since we sent him to Florida for sober living in March of 2016. Fast forward to today and he is now 22 and in a long term faith based program and doing well and finally starting to see the light. I hope and pray that your journey does not mimic mine but wanted to share what we've done which is everything. More will be along to offer their advice. I suggest you find a therapist that deals with substance abuse (if that is another issue) and take their advice to help you build boundaries for you and hubby and for your son. He needs them as much as you do. Keep posting here and reading. It helps!! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
