[QUOTE="DDD, post: 598438, member: 35"] Welcome. I'm so sorry you have to join us but if you stick with the CD family it will keep you from feeling alone and afraid. This is a nice group of supportive parents. First...IF....you are using your "real" name, do go back and change it to something that is not a specific identifier. We all use anonymous identification so that we can pour out our hearts with-o fear of being identified by others on the internet. In addition to "new names" we do not show our City and often we choose to leave it as "the South" or "the Midwest" for the same reasons. The freedom to say what you truly feel and what is actually happening makes it well worth the effort of assuming another identification. Hugs are headed your way with very sincere hopes that this passes soon. on the other hand, sad to say, almost all of us have had to travel the addiction road for a rather long time when our much loved young adults opt for unhealthy, illegal and dangerous choices. If you read old posts in this PE section and also review posts in Substance Abuse you will have the reassurance that you are no longer alone. You will also read of the different paths we have chosen. Many parents try to ignore the problem. I have never known that to work out. Many tell their kids to leave the home if they are not willing to enter a rehab program. The most universal step is to work towards Detachment. The first entry in this section defines and explains Detachment and you likely will find it helpful. Based solely on my experience it sounds like your son is into more than pot (no, pot is not aok) and therefore he would be in more immediate danger from his choices. Do get familiar with our family stories and be sure to keep posting. It will be an enormous help to you...and therefore, it will be a big help to your son. DDD [/QUOTE]
