[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639648, member: 1550"] Yeah, hon, we went through the same thing. I was amazed at how my daughter could do so much when she had the screws to her. We literally homeschooled her to keep her away from the bad influences, not thinking that she'd find them even without school. Considering that my husband, myself and my two young kids, at the time, had to sleep sometimes she would wait then jimmy her window and run out through the neighborhood doing drugs and meeting up with her stellar friends...haha. More than once she was brought home for curfew violations. She took her drugs at night when we were asleep. We didn't know it until she told us after she quit. She was on probation twice. But, even with all that going on, she was a truly nice person with a heart of gold who VERY SADLY found out that one way for a shy girl to make a lot of friends was to use drugs. And so she did. She quit when she was 19. She started at 12. She did have to leave the house when we came home one day early from a waterpark with our younger two and found a rousing drug party going on with all sorts of interesting pills, paraphernalia, red eyes and runny noses. We had to call the cops because even my daughter screaming at them to leave did not make them leave. We then told her it was time. She had had so many chances and she had completely violated our trust and was over eighteen.She went to live in Illinois with a relative, who is not a very nice relative, and she quit, even cigaretes. There is always hope. Where there is life, there is hope. After she got clean, she paid for her own schooling to become a chef and they loved her. She even got a teaching job...not sure how that came about. She doesn't have a teaching degree, but she was teaching some sort of cooking. But it was very tiring. After she got pregnant her and SO decided they wanted her home with the baby and not stressed during her pregnancy. So...here we are. In a whole different place. She does not blame us for making her leave. She thinks it was best in the end. We are very close. If your son is out of control and disrespectful and wants to live elsewhere, you may want to give it a try. It is totally up to you and your husband. You may want to talk to a therapist first. I had a therapist for myself since I was twenty-three due to my own mental health problems and it sure helped to have one in place when my son and my daughter both started having serious issues.
