[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 274860, member: 1953"] Hi and Welcome, I'm sorry you are having trouble with your son. I know how scared and horrible you feel. Look on the bright side about school. At least they like him enough to allow him to finish his work and graduate. Does he say he will do the work to graduate? Since he is 18 and dead set against treatment, I doubt you will get a wilderness program to take him. Are you sure that marijuana is the only drug he is using? They are pretty good at hiding the ugly details. I'd say it is highly[I] probable[/I] since he is getting into big trouble and is fighting with you constantly. What are his friends like? Polite and nice to be around, or scary? Here is a post from the archives, it lists the common signs of drug use: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6231[/url] What are his plans after high school? Maybe he needs an extra year at home going to a community college. If his attitude is making your home a war zone, you could ask him to find elsewhere to live. He is 18, and I am not sure how much more "mommying" we can do after a certain point. If he is fed up with his life and wants to change and take positive steps for a positive future, tell him you will be by his side all the way. I hope he does the work he needs to graduate so he can move on to the next stage of his life without this ugly school incident following him. Has he gone to court on the charges the school filed? I hope you find some of the answers you are looking for here at conduct disorders, most of us have been through hell and back raising our difficult child's. These moms here are very wise and really helped me over the years. Wishing you some peace. Lia [/QUOTE]
