[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 548673, member: 13882"] His drug use and his mood swings are going to ruin you and your husband's lives if this is allowed to continue. Doing nothing, and hoping it's a phase is a natural reaction on your part to avoid what you know you must do. It's going to get harder before it gets easier, I guarantee it. If you and hubby aren't unified, you might as well reverse roles with your son and let him be in charge, because that's the way it will be. Hopefully, you will convince him to get treatment, but very few people seek treatment voluntarily at his age. They think there's nothing wrong with what they're doing and that parents are imposing their rules and values on them, making their life a drag. I agree wholeheartedly with Nancy about you and husband seeing a drug counselor and getting advice on how to approach this purposefully and confidently. Lots of hugs to you, I know this is beastly.
