[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 708747, member: 1550"] If that were my kid I would call the police even if I couldnt prove it. I would want my kid to know I was serious and would take action. I did call the police on my daughter when she used drugs to do the max i could to stop her from doing the same or worse to somebody who didnt love her. And I did love her to the moon and cried buckets but i did it simply for finding her smoking pot before it was almost legal here. Little did I know it was much more than pot but we want to believe them, dont we? Even thpugh she acted more crazy than simply smoking pot, we preferred believing her until we couldnt anymore. But we never did learn the full extentof her drug use. After we made her leave, she quit and has been straight for ten years. Now we know tje full extent of her rather intensive drug use because she told us. We had never guessed all she used. Ever. I believe, and she tells me, that our lack of financial support and toughness made her think drugs were too hard, even stupid. She loves us so this did nothing to worsen our relationship. I think some parents are afraid their kids will hate them. I didnt care if she hated me. I just wanted her alive and, by tje end, she looked half dead. She refused treatment. I wanted to do all I could to make it unpleasant to use drugs. For her it worked. If they dont learn consequences for stealing from us by the way, next time it could be a store he robs or a stranger. Anyhow we all do what we feel is right. Please do change the locks and never tell him when you are going on vacation again!! My daughter now says "never trust a drug user. They lie." She lied all the time when she used. In fact we didnt believe drugs were behind her until she was two years sober and thriving. Guard your heart. You have no reason to trust your son now. I highly recommend Al Anon and/or therapy to help you cope. This is very hard. Hugs. You ar not stupid, you are a loving mom and they use this against us. [/QUOTE]
