[QUOTE="Gna, post: 762828, member: 30141"] Hello Lori and BusyMember. Hope it’s alright to add my story to this post. Not sure if my 19yr old has drug addiction, he would say no. He’s done pills, pot, vapes in the past and recently pot and drinking. That and his attitude and disrespect led us to giving him a choice to follow the house rules or leave. We did pack his clothes and gave him that choice couple times. He’s now living with his 19/20 yr old friend who has no rules; been almost 4 weeks now. I’ve stopped breaking down/crying for a couple days but do regret kicking him out. We invited him for dinner last weekend. He still holds on to things I’ve done, accused of using when he lived with us, sneaking his girlfriend into his room while he’s grounded. He sees us falling apart and telling him we can still provide for him, his education, a car, if he can follow the house rules. He’s a bit sad but says no. He has a $16/hr cashier job. It’s probably for the best if it can bring some sanity to our 17yr old who wants to leave us for college in a yr. And it sometimes give us some peace when he’s not at home. We were in a parent support group but the parents are a bit pushy with advice and assumptions. My husband thinks kicking him out was the wrong thing to do. We’re gonna try Naranon. I also gave the link to my son. Who knows if he’ll attend. This seems like a good site to hear how parents are coping and give the rest of us some hope. Thanks. Gina [/QUOTE]
