[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644015, member: 1550"] Do you live in Canada? I heard they are allowed to leave at sixteen there? In the end, you can look into rehabs and hope he will decide to change. I learned the hard way that it can't be forced. I even pulled Daughter out of school and homeschooled her and she still managed to get drugs. I feel for you and again think Al-Anon is a great way to help yourself cope with this plus get GREAT suggestions from those still in the trenches. You have no idea how this saved my sanity. I wore a necklace day and night that read: "God great me the SERENITY to accept the things I can not change, the COURAGE to chnage tht things I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference." I cried a lot, but Al-Anon helped me get on with my life. And I also got good feedback on what worked from other parents with the same problem. And what did not work. Once they reach a certain age, seems like we can only hope for the best. (((BIG HUGS)))!!!! [/QUOTE]
