[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 541732, member: 59"] No you did not fail. How could you keep him from going? It would have just caused a bad scene and closed the door on communication. His response that he is "just" doing pot and zanax is so typical. They will justify anything in their mind and try to get you to believe it. If I had a dollar for everytime my difficult child said she was just doing a little pot and drinking one beer. She was actually doing pot 24/7, even on her work lunch break, drinking a case a night, snorting pills, doing mushrooms, and other things I don't even know about. You did the right thing to take the car away. You confronted him and let him know you are concerned. All you can do now is keep the doors of communication open and hope he wants to get help. He will probably try to convince you to give the car back because he will need it to get to work so you will have to decide what your response will be. If he is working he should lease his own car and get his own insurance. It will also be an incentive to continue working. Nancy [/QUOTE]
