[QUOTE="hopeless in sd, post: 464152, member: 12889"] Thank you all for your encouraging words. Insane Cdn: I definitely think there is depression going on with him, he has emptiness because of not knowing his real father, losing his father figure at the age of 15/16, and we also lost our only family pet that year as well, that he had since he was 8 years old. MWM: I did call the police after he assaulted me yesterday, but I decided not to have him arrested. He spent last night cleaning up the mess he made. I don't believe he is using anything other than pot, he's home every night (we are in a 1 bedroom apartment) I sleep on the couch and he has the bedroom and is sound asleep before I am at around 11pm. He is 100% commited to football, and has never faltered from that and has fairly decent grades. Having my own experience with drugs as a teenager I'm very aware of the habits and signs. His MJ use has increased dramatically though and I do notice his temeperament change when he hasn't smoked. He is trying to get a football schholarship and a school in Maine has approached us, I do not have the resources to put him through school. But, I hear ya about him going away and having more accessability to drugs and alcohol. But, I also wonder if cutting the umbilical cord and letting him go figure it out on his own. He has me to blame right now and if he's out there alone, he will only have himself to blame-or so I hope. Thank you all again. This has helped so much [/QUOTE]
