[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 718259, member: 13499"] So far none of our kids have ventured into drugs that weren't prescribed (although they've been prescribed a full pharmacopoeia), which is certainly a blessing. Huck is addicted to online gaming, though, and it has all of the hallmarks including lashing out when he cannot get his fix, neglecting school/work to play, stealing to finance his GamePlay card habit, lack of attention to hygiene, you name it. But there's limited recognition of the perils of screen time for addictive personalities and few professional resources to help. We haven't given him the letter yet, but did cut off his phone. He came home from school and lashed out at me for that and for talking with the social worker, but I stayed cool and didn't budge. He stormed to his room, but emerged in a calmer place and we discussed the need for an agreement. Do I think he'll follow it? No. Will we follow through? I hope so... but it's not easy. [/QUOTE]
