[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 637652, member: 16643"] rc606 welcome, this is a good place with so much support and you are not alone. My son also started his defiant behavior and smoking weed around the same time as yours. He's 20 now, and has been clean and sober for 60 days, I'm so happy! But it's been a very long, difficult road and there are no guarantees. I just want to tell you that you did the right thing. It's our duty to teach our children (with love) what society will teach them (with no love) (no mercy). So, please remain strong, gently guide him to follow the rules and do not waiver. We have absolutley no control over their decisions and that is important to grasp. But I truly believe if you are loving, genuine and firm, he will get it. Some kids have to go off and screw up before they realize what they had. I prayed a lot when my son was not at home, and God took care of him. Best of luck to you and your family. [/QUOTE]
