[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 69939, member: 27"] Nola, My heart breaks reading your post. At only 16, it's got to be very hard to detach. My son began his running at 16 and then turned 17. At that point, I was also still in "hunt him down mode". I always feel like until they are 18, there is more parental control. Trust me, I realize whey they are drugging, there is very little to no control, but you get my drift. It was a matter of - do you want to live on the street, go to jail, or agree to go to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? Of course, by the time my son agreed, he had already been arrested, so he knew he had little choice. So, I do understand your feeling torn between detaching and the fact that he's only 16. Many hugs coming your way. I have been there. Deb [/QUOTE]
