[QUOTE="katya02, post: 194983, member: 2884"] Welcome, CatMat! A few things came to mind while reading your post ... such as, it's really good that you're picking up on the pot and drinking as a problem now, and not dismissing or denying it. If you've found pot 'on occasion' then he's used it a significant amount, i.e. keeping a supply himself, not just trying it once at a party. This will not go away, so be alert and monitor his friends, his activities, and his room (yes, take his room apart down to the threads. I know parents differ on this but I believe that while a child is a minor and in the family home they have no absolute right to privacy. Qualified, yes, as in bathroom privacy; but not absolute. The house belongs to you, the room belongs to you, and you are legally responsible for him.) It will be important not to let him triangulate you and his father; hopefully you will both be able to keep communication open. Good luck and keep posting! Katya [/QUOTE]
