[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 56735, member: 2389"] My son was caught drinking at age 14. I gave him the riot act. I had a member from our church that was also a detective talk to him. I thought it was a one time experiment and that we handled it, I was wrong. I wish I had taken better care of my self emotionally, so I could have stood stronger against my son's actions. Dealing with ODD and drug use wears you down to nothing. The entire family can come undone very quickly and then you are at a loss for what to do next. Every situation is unique. There is not a path anyone can tell you to take that will make you or your son not go thru the things you have read here. This board is a wonderful place...You can get advice from others that have been there done that. You can laugh and you can cry. We are all here searching for answers and strength to make it in this journey. Some are just beginning and some are full with a wealth of wisdom, you can learn something from them all. I did every possible intervention I could find to change my son. My son is who he is and nothing I did kept him from continuing to make his own choices and live the lifestyle he chose. I just threw little roadblocks in his path but he always found a way around them. The best advice I could ever give you ~~ Take the time to take care of yourself!! [/QUOTE]
