[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 393326"] Oh gosh me too. I would get caught up in the problem, if I can't prove he did it then what can I do? What I found is if I knew he did something I had to approach it that way.... not did you do this as a question, but because you did this x will happen. What I found is that if I approached it with clear knowledge he was less likely to deny and sometimes actually admitted whatever it was. Sometimes he just lied. Sometimes I might have been wrong too. All I know is that my son is a very good liar and I cannot believe anything he says...so I try not to ask anymore so that i don't have to have him lying to me. It is hard and if you have a kid who already has a problem with lying and stealing as I did, then it gets harder to tell what is that and what is due to drug use and habit? If it is getting worse and more significant you have to wonder about drug use. And if it hasn't already it will go outside the home and then the consequences are out of your hands. My son also told me pot was his doctor. I think that may be true, but it is also true that he tried and did a bunch of other stuff and I am sure he would not admit that something else was his doctor.
