[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 522746"] You've gotten very good advice her. I only have two things to add: Just make it clear what you will and will not tolerate - especially important with younger kids in the wings. My difficult child was 19 when our issues began, our therapist was clear in that we needed to develop a "concrete" set of standards of living in our home-the behaviors we expected from him. I don't know how much it helped our situation - but it DID help H and me - as it gave us the ability to reestablish OUR control in our household. Also - I hate to say this - but have a back up plan. In the event that he tests positive for drug use, you are going to need to spring into action. Decide what the action will be LONG before you start testing him. You sound like a wonderful parent and I wish you the best. Welcome to the CD board, sorry you had to find us. [/QUOTE]
