[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 728039, member: 16024"] Hi and welcome, Ally If it were me, I would not allow anyone who is an alcohol or drug abuser to drive a car that I owned. The liability is much too great, even with insurance. You, as the owner, can be held liable for any damages that exceed the limits of your insurance policy coverage. My hubby did this with his son when I was first with him, and luckily nothing bad happened, but he was in denial about the situation. We will never put ourselves at risk again. I understand very much why you do it, but I would just like for you to think about it and make an informed decision. I would either give him the car and put it in his name and under his own insurance coverage, or make him take public transportation until he stops the drugs. Or, at least severely restrict his use of it, which will put you into confrontations with him on a daily basis. You are far from the only person out there with this problem. Many of us have had to deal with this. It is not easy, but You are going to have to make some hard decisions, and stick with them, even in the face of the anger that your son will have. Stay with us and continue to post. We are not going to be judgmental, but you do need to make an informed decision. Apple [/QUOTE]
