[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 660343, member: 16859"] You have to do what your comfortable with, but let's look at that from another point of view.. .. You refuse to allow drug use in your home, so he can no longer live at home. So, you are renting an apartment for him and paying his rent. Which would you have preferred at 19: 1. Living with your parents or 2. Having your own apartment where no one could nag you and you could do what you please. Honestly seems to me that doing that gives him no motivation to change or be more responsible. He's 19, technically an adult and has to figure it out on his own at some point. Not to mention it is a terrible idea to put your name on anything (car, apartment etc) related to him if he's using drugs. You will ultimately be responsible! [/QUOTE]
