[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 625641, member: 1550"] I'm kind of fuzzy here. He isn't using many drugs, although, to be honest, you don't really know that. I thought the same thing about my kid and I was wrong. But obviously, if he isn't, he is mentally ill. Why won't you insist on psychiatric treatment and compliance while you still can? Have you ever drug tested him? Have you ever searched his room or read his FB or cell phone messages? It sounds sneaky and it is, but it is also sometimes lifesaving. That is where the honesty lies...with his friends, not with his parents. He will be honest, especially on his cell phone, which he doesn't think you will read.Check every spot in his room, including in cracks and under mattress and in bookcase and anywhere you see where something could be hidden. We actually had a cop bring a dog in and he found stuff we missed. He won't trust you anymore? Well, it could be life or death and you NEED to know what is going on. Hugs and sorry for your hurting mommy heart. Best to know for sure if it's drugs or real mental illness, not caused by any drug use. They are treated differently. Don't say "But he never leaves the house." You wouldn't believe how they get drugs. Even if they don't leave the house (or we think they don't). [/QUOTE]
