[QUOTE="AliceLee, post: 31764, member: 3104"] Getting in on the tail end of this post, but here are my 2 cents: 1. A therapist (specializing in substance abuse) we have worked with told us that when parents know or suspect that their kids are using drugs, usually the kids' drug use is actually 3 times greater than what we would estimate. 2. Have you thought about using the basement as an incentive? He gets the basement AFTER following rules for a specified time period. I don't think I'd want to reward him for the way he's been behaving. 3. I read that book on parenting out of control teens, too. It did have some good ideas, which I used, but unfortunately wasn't the fix I'd hoped it would be. I agree with whoever said that it probably was better for easy child's who were just going through typical teenaged angst. 4. Can you legally kick your son out at age 17? That may not even be an option until he's 18 in your state. [/QUOTE]
