[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 386037, member: 1550"] I'm almost sure that your son is doing a lot more than pot. They usually are, when they are that out of control. I cringed thinking of him on Vicadon. That's a really abused drug. I am not sure what you can do to a seventeen year old. Nothing that we tried worked for my daughter. She simply didn't listen. When we took the car keys, she got out at night and ran around the town or got others to pick her up. She would not go for help nor did we know how deeply she was involved with drugs (we thought just pot and drinking and it was meth). They don't tell us and often we just don't know...until they quit, if they do (we were lucky...she has been clean now for seven years). I wish I had more positives to tell you, but I do want to give you hope. My daughter got so tired of herself that she changed. We did have to make her leave after she turned eighteen and she left the state to stay with her brother. That really helped her...getting away from her "friends." That's what worked for her...a knew start in a new place. You may want to check your son's room when he isn't home or even his cell phone to see what he may be using that you don't know about. Although, to be honest, if I had known what my daughter had used, I have no idea how I would have stopped her. When a kid changes a lot very quickly, think drugs. And more than pot. Good luck and I hope whatever you try works or that he decides to change. [/QUOTE]
