[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 575366, member: 1967"] rudyb, your situation is very different than the OP's situation. The OP's son is still living at home and bringing drugs into their home. The only problem that I can see with your son (at least a problem that would mean you should intervene) is if the car is in your name under your insurance which could make you liable if he has an accident while impaired. In that case, I would consider putting the car in his name and making him pay for his own insurance. You can explain that you are not comfortable with taking the chance of him having an accident while under the influence since he has flat out told you he will continue to smoke pot. Make it a logical consequence of his behavior. Otherwise, I would leave him alone and let him graduate. Hopefully, he will do as many others have and go one to an adult life leaving the college partying behind. You might want to start your own thread for more advice. To the OP: I would make a stand that you will not allow illegal drugs in your home. If he is working fulltime, he should be able to rent a room or share an apartment with someone while he finishes school. Again, this would be a logical consequence of bringing illegal drugs into your home. You don't have to allow it and shouldn't allow it for your own safety and the safety of younger children in the home. by the way, we recently had to get a temporary protection order against our daughter to force her to leave (and consequently go to rehab). The judge told us that her bringing an illegal drug into our home (in her case . . . heroin) was an automatic reason to grant the protection order against her. You also need to check the laws in your state. In my state, you cannot force someone to leave your home if they are a legal resident and that includes adult children that don't pay rent. Here, you have to go through the eviction process to make them leave. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
