[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 741372, member: 15032"] Sorry you are here but glad you found us. My son sounds a lot like yours. His behavior started at age 15. He has anxiety - like his dad/my husband so started with the pot smoking. Then someone gave him a pill. It progressed. Here we are 7 years later. It has been hell. No other way to put it. I found this site when I did a search for Conduct Disorder. It helped me SEE that it was not anything that we did as parents. He had a good life. It helped me to get tough. Even when I did, he continued to spiral downward. I agree to let them experience the natural consequences of their actions. It is so very hard. He is young. But my guess is he will continue to do as he wishes. There is no magic answer. Usually it's maturity and that is a long time coming for a 15 year old male..... They sometimes go to therapy because they are trying to appease us but most don't reveal much at that age or don't really see a problem....unfortunately. I do hope that it is different for you that in was for us and I hate not to be a positive light because I am truly a very positive minded person but looking back I can't see anything good that came out of our experience except that our son is still alive and has been sober for 14 months and will come back to live with us next month. After all we've been through I'm still scared and the past haunts me. I can never live like that again. It's all consuming. I do recommend you get help for yourself also whether it be therapy (I did for years to help me cope) or just keeping yourself sane in some way and your marriage strong. Good luck and we are here for you. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
