[QUOTE="WannabeAgoodFather, post: 712153, member: 21165"] I am sorry Julie to hear about your son using drugs... We are all here because of similar issues. 1. What kind of drugs is he using? 2. How often do you think he is using? Has it become a daily routine? Sooner the better that he will have a chance to get his mind off from doing it. My stepson started around 15, 16 and no one really could stop him when he went off to college. I know you are afraid but in my personal opinion, his father should know. It is not your fault. Kids are so exposed to drugs everywhere and they could get it like getting a can of soda at seven eleven. You need a team work with your ex to be on top of it right away. The more you wait to see, your son will develop a serious dependency on it and will be extremely hard to get off. Kids will always lie when being confronted. He will say it is nothing and he just tried for the first time and will not do it again sort of things to make you not worry. You cannot get sucked into it. You need to be firm, give him rules and most importantly, follow up on what you said. My wife is an enabler who says stuff but never follows up. I spent fortune buying home drug test kits but used only one and all others went into garbage.. Waste of money and stupid for me to even try. Just my thoughts as my stepson is dragging the bad habits with enabling mother and as a result, the whole house is a mess. Not only did my stepson ruined his life (so far) he also ruined friendships, his mother's marriage and his step father's life. These drugs destroy everything good and turn everything hell.... Good luck... People over here have lots of experience and can help you guide through. [/QUOTE]
