[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 346500, member: 1953"] You have received [B]great advice[/B] from some of the most admirable warrior moms. You do need to get tough. You cannot let him play by his own rules and run your house. I know it is hard but you will learn how to do it here. As far as his drug use goes, I definitely agree that he is deeper into harder stuff then you know. They always admit to pot only. They will only tell you what they want you to know. I also know by experience that not all drug tests detect everything. My son once said to me "mom, I have no idea how only pot showed up" (this pertains to a drug test given to him when he was taken to juvy) he admitted this to me once all the cats were out of the bag. Our son was much like any typical difficult child type teen. We knew that he was out of control and were learning how to deal with it all. We also knew there must have been some other type of drugs involved. Heroin is becoming common in many suburban cities across the country. Rumors were flying about Alex using heroin and we were called by two people. Of course he denied it up and down left and right. My worse fears were confirmed when shortly after, he admitted heroin use as he was going cold turkey to get off. He was able to get a prescripition for suboxone to wean off of the drugs. He did refuse further treatment. I was drug testing him at home. Things were great for 3 weeks till he relapsed and died in our basement at his computer while we were sleeping upstairs. We had no idea how huge the heroin problem was in my community.I am not trying to scare you or insinuate your son is using heroin, [I][B]just trying to spread awareness[/B][/I]. My husband and I never would have thought heroin. You have found the best place on the internet for support and advice. All the moms here will help you find your warrior mom coat of arms and use it. It's tough, and chances are things will get worse before they get better, but you are in very good hands here. Good luck, I'm glad you found us. Lia [/QUOTE]
