[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637607, member: 1550"] I'm very sorry you are going through this with your son. My daughter took drugs at his age, however she quit. He is young and you don't know where his life path will take him. Since there is nothing you can do right now, and he is currently safe, why not tell yourself that at least he is secure right now and that you can rest. It's very difficult when they are still minors. Heck, it's hard when they aren't, but I think it's harder when they are minors and still at home. I do think it's true that, aside from doing what you are doing (rehab), there is little you can do to force him to change. I tried with my daughter, but she didn't change until she wanted to. Just wanted to offer you a bit of hope, that your son's future is still not clear cut.He will probably come back. If he doesn't, agree that you need to call the police. He is still a minor and you are still responsible for him legally. Take care. [/QUOTE]
