[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647734, member: 1550"] Ask the police if they know of any place. Understand your son will not change until/unless he wants to change. Start taking care of yourself. In the end, we all become empty nesters and have to live our own lives anyway. I did not think kids snorted pot. My guess is he went ballistic when you asked if he was using more than justpot because it struck a nerve that he didn't like. They never tell us all they do and even drug tests don't show every drug our kids use. And the kids know what to use that doesn't show up. One last thing: Don't feel guilty for asking your son if he was using meth. He could be, even if he stamps his foot in indignation. In fact, that is sort of the way they tend to act when we nail it. He is probably using more drugs than you know. When you see a hallowed out pen, you have every right to ask about it. Your hosue/your rules/he is still a minor kid. Do not let guilt rule you. And find him a safe place to rehab. Once he is there, it is up to him whether or not to take advantage of the services offered. But you can feel good that you tried to help him when you still could. All we can do is lead a horse to water. We can't make that horse drink. Huggles for your hurting heart. We are with you. [/QUOTE]
