[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 252457, member: 1550"] Of course he's not cooperating. He's a drug user. They don't cooperate. It's probably more than pot too. Of course he begged to get out, probably cried crocodile tears. They all do that. He's going to tell you anything you want to hear, and the more it works, the more he'll snow you. These types of kids can lie while staring you straight in the eyes. Maybe they're high when they lie to us. Again, it is probably more than pot. Frankly, I think it was a bad decision to bring him home. I've seen what teenagers can do and how clever they are when they want to do things. We can't stop them. I hope you reconsider and send him back to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because there is no way you are going to keep him away from those friends at his age. He'll either just make new bad friends at the new school (and these bad kids exist even at private school) or he'll hang with his old friends on his own time, and he'll find a way to do it. If ex won't send him back, then send him to live with ex full time because you're right--there is no way either of you can stop his behavior. You need to learn to detach with love. Good luck.
