[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622474, member: 1550"] Hi there. So sorry for your hurting mommy heart. Sounds like your son is really involved in drugs...he may be doing more than you know. Violence is not usually associated with pot, but other drugs cause violence. Obviously, it is not safe for him to live at home right now...it is probably just as well that he is where he's at. However, is it legal for him to be on his own at age 17? If not, can you find a rehab or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or even a foster home for him so that he is not around to fight with your husband? You need to give your daughter a violence-free environment too. If you pay for your son's cell phone, car insurance, etc. I would cut him off. That's what we did when Daughter was caught using drugs and she was way younger than eighteen. If she was going to break the law, she was going to get only the bare minimum from us. I highly recommend going to Nar-Anon or Al-Anon with your husband. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but it has helped A LOT of us. You certainly could use some real life support. I am sorry you have to take this walk. Many of us have done it or are still doing it. You will get a lot of support here. You may want to peak at Parent Emeritus, the site for those with adult problem children. Your son is almost of age. [/QUOTE]
