[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 494457, member: 3710"] Welcome to this board. You will find a lot of caring people here who will offer you advice and support. I know that you feel hopeless right now, but you are taking the right step right now just by reaching out to other parents on this board. There are parents here who have been through many of the things that your family is dealing with now, - drugs, alcohol, prison, violence, and much more. I'm sure that they will be along soon to offer you some advice. Has your youngest son ever had any treatment for his substance problem? Has he been in any rehab or any other treatment programs for drugs problems? Is your son taking any medications for any mental health problems? It sounds like your son's drug usage is causing major problems in his life, but unfortunately most people will not start to recover from drugs until they admit that they have a drug problem. Your son may have to really hit rock bottom in his life before he realizes that his life with drugs is not working and he must start to change. I know that this is hard to hear and that you are worrying about your son, but sometimes the best thing that you can do for your son is to do nothing at all. Please take care of yourself, and try not to obsess your where your son is living (I know that this is easier said than done!). Hugs... [/QUOTE]
