[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 575051, member: 1233"] in my opinion you MUST follow through with the consequences. It is one way to be sure that he truly understands that this is not okay. Alanon is a great thing and I strongly, strongly encourage you to attend some meetings. Or the family groups at Narcanon. As he is holding a job and going to school full time, he should be able to support himself in a cheap apartment. This is a natural, logical consequence for having drugs on your property (in his body or out of it). You could pay some very heavy consequences if he is found to be selling drugs from your home. First, the cops CAN seize your home because it is used to traffic drugs. Not terribly likely unless this goes on for years, but it CAN happen. Having the drugs in your home, esp wth the baggies, means he is selling and that your property is being used to traffic drugs so it can be forfeited. You are not to that point and hopefully won't get to that point. The really BIG danger is that other drug users or dealers might show up with weapons to steal the drugs and money and anything else of value in the home. You don't want that risk. It is not something that someone who loves you should put you at risk of, in my opinion. I would probably tell him that straight out. It is good that he is not the type to sit around and do nothing. He will have an easier time of it in his own home since he is that way. [/QUOTE]
