[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 538244, member: 1550"] I'm sorry you have to go through this. Unfortunately, there is really nothing you can do. That charge with him having sex with a seventeen year old can be quite serious and he may have to sign up as a sexual predator if he is found guilty. In our state, if you are eighteen and have sex with a seventeen year old, you are a sexual predator. I think it's a bit silly, but that's the law. As for the drugs, as soon as I started reading your post I knew he was doing more than smoking pot. The downhill slide can really be fast and devastating to all who love him. When my daughter was doing dangerous drugs, we joined Narcotics Anonymous and it was a great help to have people like us to talk to in real time. We got good advice too. I think the best thing you can do for everyone is to try to make yourselves stronger. You can't change your son...only he can do that at his age. You can spend all the money you have and go broke and it still won't help him unless he decides to change. My daughter quit. She didn't have a lot of help because she didn't ask for any. She just wanted to get off the sick merry-go-round and she did it. So it can happen. Big hugs and keep us posted on his progress. [/QUOTE]
