[QUOTE="GwenWill, post: 601615, member: 16577"] Thank you all for the posts. It's a comfort to share with other parents. Monday our difficult child is meeting with a dean of students to see if he will be allowed back to college. difficult child presents himself well and will probably be readmitted. The drug counselor said it didn't matter if difficult child lives at home or away for school. They can find drugs anywhere. Counselor said natural consequences of drug use will play out one way or another. Our 19 yo difficult child flat out tells us he thinks he's 10 feet tall and won't get busted. We shall see what happens when he's back at school (two hours from home.) He'll still be on probation (hopefully close supervision.) He'll be living in a house we own with my wise, 65yo sister (he's not allowed to even visit dorms.) I'm not giving him his car back ([I]THAT [/I]will annoy him ;-P He's two miles from campus. He can ride his bike or catch a free shuttle bus.) This is his opportunity to get back on the academic track toward the professional career he claims he wants. I feel I should take side bets! [I]Can he avoid getting busted again?[/I] [I]Can he use drugs and be a successful student?[/I] difficult child thinks he can "manage" the situation. I think we're watching a slow motion train wreck. . . [/QUOTE]
