[QUOTE="DDD, post: 237466, member: 35"] You've received good advice. We know it is difficult to even perceive the possibility that your son who probably is kind, intelligent, obedient and often gifted and accomplished could be stupid enough to start drugs. By acknowledging your fears now you may well be saving his life or their lives. It sounds so darn melodramatic, I know. Try to take the next step. Do explore. Think through the options that seem to make sense to your life. Quick and emotional responses usually don't have the effectiveness needed. Convince yourself it is not your fault...and also don't be ready to blame the "evil friend". Chances are you are correct. Then, depending on your son's actual age you find out what support services are available before he ends up in jail. Yep...jail. Where we live, at least, if "seeds" are found in the car you are whisked off in the back of a cop car. Many wonderful futures are ruined by what starts as a peer group activity like drinking beer. As they say in AA "one day at a time". Identify the problem. Find the proof. Figure out options. Use this board family for anonymous support. Implement what you feel is best. We will be here for support. DDD [/QUOTE]
