[QUOTE="Stacy G., post: 31443, member: 3584"] Thanks y'all, I knew you guys would understand. I'm going to try to answer a few questions y'all asked me. CAmom - I thought he had done something besides pot also, just found it hard to believe that he would have that reaction. When we confronted his friends & their parents one of them said something about him getting hold of his mom's (the one I suspect he's getting it from) Xanax (sp?), but I would think that would have shown up on the test? I would like to go back & read your story, I did a search for your posts but I'm not sure how to find it. Ephchap - Thank you for all of your advice. I'm not sure what MHMR is though? I do understand that I cannot force Adam to get help but I also know that I will never stop trying, as hard as it may get. Adam is not 'formally' on probation but we talked to a probation supervisor last week when I filed the unruly child charges on him, we have another appointment tomorrow & I will make him tell her the events of this weekend, hopefully she will point us in the right direction. Oh, he also has an appointment for a drug & alcohol assesment on Monday. He does go to school, I take him & pick him up every day, he know's that not going to school in this house is NOT an option. husband & I have been on the same page this week, I pray that will continue. The biggest problem is that husband will give in & let Adam come & go as he pleases because he has been doing 'well'. Uh, of course he's been doing 'well', he's been on restriction! Hard to get into trouble when your being watched all day long.
