[QUOTE="jaycee, post: 346447, member: 9140"] When I saw all of your posts offering so much support, it brought tears to my eyes -- thank you so much! I can't tell you what it means to know I'm not alone. I wish none of this was happening to any of us (or our difficult children...), but I am so relieved to have found this forum. You've all given some really good advice and I truly appreciate it... Just a little while ago I found over $100 in his wallet, then checked his cell phone. All kinds of texts between him and several other kids, mentioning vicodin, dilaudin, adderol, and "jams", which I understand is likely oxycontin? I don't know...I am just so heartbroken and feel so helpless, you know? :( I had said if I saw evidence of dealing that he needed to move out, but he is only 16 (17 next month - will be charged as adult then, for anything he does). I have nowhere to send him that would be any better for him, unless it's to inpatient rehab. He threatens to kill himself if we send him to one; with his history, I'm terrified he'll follow through... I shut his phone off -- won't pay for him to use it for what he's doing... But that doesn't solve much, of course. I haven't found much in his room yet, but I'm still searching. I did find a backpack with a jar and a cloth in it -- I assume it means he's huffing, too... I'm so scared for him, and so angry with him, and so unbearably sad at the moment. I will do something. I just don't know what yet. I think our insurance will pay for 60 days somewhere, but I will need to find out (our financial situation right now is pretty bad, unfortunately). I'm going to keep browsing this site; you all have so much good info here and I feel lucky to have found you all. :) Thanks again, for all the advice, and for listening to me "vent". [/QUOTE]
