[QUOTE="BKS, post: 557385, member: 15374"] SingleDad47, God Bless You. My husband and I (going through our own struggles with our son) have said multiple times how difficult it would be to deal with a difficult child as a single parent. That said, we thought our son was not doing drugs. In high school we asked him about it and he would say, "NO WAY!". He was drinking, smoking marijuana, had tried sniffing heroin, and ingesting cough syrup. (This is all we know about.) During the time that he was using in high school, he was not making good grades (altho he really never did.) It may be an experimentation phase with your son - kind of a right of passage. It doesn't sound like it is worth throwing him out of the house for. I know it is uncomfortable but if the rest of his life is together (and not declining) you may be best to actively watch for any signs of growing use. Just my 2 cents. Best, BKS [/QUOTE]
