[QUOTE="Mom of Teen Boys, post: 717839, member: 22212"] Thank you RN0441. I do talk to my husband about it but he doesn't worry like me. He says he's just experimenting and not to worry. He hasn't lived with an addict, so I don't expect him to understand fully. I too am scared that this will lead to more serious drugs, that's my worry. We told him in May when we caught him that if he was doing it again he would loose his phone and his vehicle, which we pay for. What is the best consequence/punishment? I know we have to be firm on this, but at the same time don't want to completely destroy our relationship. I am having a home security person come next week and am getting cameras and alarms for doors and windows in case he tries sneaking out. I currently set my alarm for several times a night to make sure he's in bed (his bedroom is in our basement - a walk out with a door right there!), hence causing more exhaustion! I know he has to make his own decisions, but how can I get through to him. The sad thing is, he has seen what my brother did to my family and how horrible it was to live through. [/QUOTE]
