[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 717833, member: 15032"] Welcome Mom Sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. Do you have a spouse or someone that you can confide in so that you don't feel alone? My son started abusing weed at 15 and it led to other more serious drugs and he is still fighting it and will be 22 on Saturday. I'm not saying this will happen to you but we never know what this can lead to. You've been exposed to addiction so you know what it can do and as parents there is still only so much we can do. He is still a minor in your home so you do have some control. I would continue to establish firm rules and boundaries in your home and if he is using he would not be allowed to drive period. These kids can be sneaky and most times you only know half or less of what is really going on. You don't know if it's normal teenage stuff, a phase, or a real problem. That's how we were. Our youngest was the most sensible of all three of our boys and I NEVER I mean NEVER could imagine this would happen to him. I still sometimes think I will wake up and it will just be a long nightmare. I would continue to search his room and drug test him at this point. I wish we had been more on the ball with our son. It hit us like a freight train. We had no idea what was going on and both my husband and I smoked in high school so we were not naive at all. More will be along to offer their advice. Take what you like and leave the rest. Keep posting and reading. It will give you great insight and let you know that you are not alone. I wish I had found this site when my son was 15. I don't know if it would have changed anything but I think I would have fared better. [/QUOTE]
