[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 505434, member: 2315"] PV, You have gotten very good advice so far. I wanted you to know that I too have been in your shoes. My son was using and in trouble with the law and disrespectful and abusive. I ,however, did not put my son out until he had physically harmed me while high. I later found out that he was using more than pot and had smoked crack right before the attack which left me with a broken rib. He was on bail at the time and I revoked the bond so he would not be on the streets using drugs in the harsh winter. I hate that our difficult child's force us to make such painful decisions when what they really need to do is the right thing. Unfortunately drugs are making their decisions for them. It hurts our hearts and frequently manifests in physical ailments for us the parents. Please try to take the time to take care of yourself also. It is important, even though right now your mind and heart are screaming "save your child". Try to make some kind of a balance and take time away from this problem to "just be normal" every day.
