[QUOTE="PamjO, post: 547834, member: 15114"] I am new here and would welcome a response from anyone willing to share advice or simply comment or offer suggestions. My 20 year old son is a drug user and my life is a living nightmare. He has turned his life, my life, and our home upside down with his drug use and refusal to go to rehab. His drugs of choice are synthetic marijuana (K2), which he can legally buy in our state - it should be outlawed. In addition to that - he is abusing over-the-counter medications like Robitusson Gel Caps and Motion Sickness medicine. He takes these in large doses. My son was once a gentle kid with a passion for music. He lost his job for stealing from his employer, which ultimately lead to the discovery of his substance abuse. He has since sold all of music equipment to finance his drug habit, he is a pathological liar, he has stolen from me. I have been able to get him to see a therapist, but he will not go to rehab. He works a part-time job and funnels his earnings to drugs. I have taken his car back - I have established rules in my home - he continues to disrepect the rules by continuing to bring drugs into my home. He does not bother to hide his drug use - I find traces througout my home. I sleep very little at night as he slips out in the wee hours and leaves the door unlocked - while I am sleeping and unaware. I discovered this by accident a few weeks ago. I am a prisoner in my home - I can't even use the bathroom in my own home without bringing my purse in with me. I want him in rehab...I really don't want to throw him out, he has nowhere to go and will not survive the streets. Someone - anyone - RSVP - any suggestions on anything? Thanks so much. [/QUOTE]
