[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 509257, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome to the CD board! I have an older difficult child (26) but her drug problems started in high school. However, she hid them well and we were not aware of the extent of the problem until she was almost 18. Also, while causing chaos in our house, she still went to school and was a very good student. When we did turn to the legal system, they told us there wasn't anything they really could do since she was almost 18. I think you are doing the right thing getting them involved while something still can be done. At least this way the consequences will come from someone other than you so he can't accuse you of "not letting him grow up." That was a line that my daughter used. Now, 10 years later, we are still trying to get her to grow up. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
