[QUOTE="sheepdoglover, post: 427119"] Unfortunately, drugs have just entered the picture. He has been occasionally smoking pot, and clearly likes it. We caught him once downtown high and grounded him. But guess what? He walked right out the door on the days he was grounded! He just doesn't think we have a right to restrict him and says "everybody smokes pot." We feel so powerless. It's strange how he is neither here nor there. He is not so impaired that we have multiple hospitalizations, Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s, etc. but is also not normal and therefore has trouble with peer group (other parents don't like him) and problems with school achievement. So, he's not going anywhere except community college if he's lucky. Such a shame. [/QUOTE]
