[QUOTE="greenstockings, post: 617071, member: 17532"] difficult child has only been drinking (at all) for about 1.5 years. He never experimented with anything as a teen. Then he hit 20 and started drinking socially. I know he has smoked pot here and there, but he's an asthmatic so it hasn't been frequent. Then there was/is the Robitussin. We have told him that he's not helping himself by doing those things, and that they will interfere with his Prozac. He pooh-poohs us as if we are just silly old farts who don't know anything. He's not likely to go back to the trucking school because he has no money. Yes, I was going to pay for it initially. He was excited about it and it was the first thing he seemed excited about in years, so I thought that was a good sign. My other son dabbles in marijuana but he's living with a bunch of hippies, not criminals. I know the family well. I know there are people here who would say marijuana is a criminal activity, but I don't share that view (and no, I don't use the stuff). He's a nice kid. He just has decided to completely ignore us for some reason. Thank you for your responses, ladies. Everyone keeps telling me we're doing the right thing by making him leave, but it doesn't FEEL right. Know what I mean?? He blames us for all his problems, which isn't helping. [/QUOTE]
