[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 592712, member: 59"] Hi sun, I love the name. Glad you found us, you will find many parents here who understand what you are going through. I agree with kennedy except for one point. Your son is still in high school and it's important that he finish and graduate, so kicking him out at this point is not an option. Hopefully he can bring his grades up enough to do that and it is very close to the end of the year. I would tell him how important it is that he finish high school and try to work out some way you can survive. After that he is 18 and an adult and if he deosn't want to abide by your rules he can find alternative living arrangements. My daughter was 14 when she began smoking pot and she still feels it's harmless. She has been on her own for the past three years and she is struggling. She just barely finished high school just like your son, and she has a difficult time finding and keeping a job, all minimum wage jobs. There's nothing I can do about it and believe me we have tried, but in the end we did have to make her leave. Try to find an al-anon or families anonymous group near you and go to some meetings. Connecting with other parents in the same situation is the only thing that has kept me sane. [/QUOTE]
