[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 518066, member: 3710"] Vrigrl: I don't want to scare you, but your son sounds very much like my 18 year old son who is a drug addict. He was an expert at lying to me and everyone else in order to get what he wanted - more drugs. My difficult child used to tell me all the time (usually screaming this): "Why don't you just let me live my life the way that I want to?". He absolutely refused to go to school, and all he wanted was to hang out with druggie friends all day and use drugs. I had to learn the hard way that my sweet, caring son would lie and steal from me in order to get drugs. My difficult child could aMlso tell me exactly what I wanted to hear, that he really wanted to stop using but he would get help "tomorrow". He was always delaying going to rehab or getting any help for his drug problem, and I thought that I was helping him by giving him just one more day before he went to rehab. I finally learned that my difficult child was lying to me all the time, and he had no intention of getting help for his drug problem. He continued to use drugs, and he eventually started stealing from other people and was arrested. My 18 year old son is now in jail facing three felony charges, all because he refused to get help for his drug use. I sincerely hope that your difficult child does not end up in jail, but please be very cautious about believing everything that your difficult child says to you.
