[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 680629, member: 1550"] Strongly suggest marriage counseling for you and wife. You need to be on the same page with spouse and she with you. Nothing will do any good if son knows he can play you against his mother. At the same time, no matter if son lives at home or is on the streets there is no way to protect a drug user. They will be around dangerous people no matter if they live with you or not. Drug users cant be protected as long as they seek out dealers and other drug abusers. When my daughter so called lived at home, she would sneak out at night and be on the streets at late hours, while we slept. Bad things happened to her even though she technically lived at home. She quit about a year after we finally made her leave. She was nineteen then and has been clean now ten, elevin years. by the way, I thought she was mostly using pot too but she told us speed and meth were actually her drugs of choice when she used. Color me shocked. We never know ehat our adult kids really use unless we catch them. Most will admit to pot and alcohol. But if an adult child is not functioning normally it is a good idea to assume the drugs have escalated to harder drugs. Not that alcoholism cant cause severe issues. It can. [/QUOTE]
