[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 294583, member: 1233"] I am so sorry that your once peaceful, pleasant family life disappeared so suddenly. Unless he had a traumatic brain injury (Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)) he is using drugs. It is not just pot. Not with the severity of the change, and the sudden onset. Behavior changes like that are drug related 99% of the time, at least that is my best guesstimate. He clearly does not see you as any type of authority now. I am not sure what to advise you of. I will say that members here who sent a child to "boot camp" type facilities came back at best with a changed attitude that lasted a month or more and faded away like it never happened. Some of the kids came back in worse shape than they had been in, some came back angry at what they thought of as abuse. I think a residential treatment center after going to rehab would be a good idea.I do have info on a really good rehab that my bro attended (now going on 6 or 7 years sober!). Whatever he is doing, even if it is "just" beer or "just" pot, he will NEED medical supervision to detox. Just stopping on his own can cause horrible problems, including death. I don't know what state you are in. You may still have the power to force him into rehab, but you may not. In some states kids can decline mental health treatments if they don't want them. Others let teens refuse to release medical info to parents, even if the parents are paying the bills. Sending love, hugs, and a soft cushie pillow to curl up on iwth a fave book or movie! [/QUOTE]
