[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 518248, member: 11001"] I have to agree with the others. It's hard in these early stages of dealing with drug use to believe your kid would work you over (been there done that). Based on his response to the car lose (which would have been huge for most kids), I think he doesn't get the severity of his situation. One year of clean drug tests and after graduating from a program, maybe, just maybe.... Our difficult child will in no way even get a drivers license. We won't sign. She will have to pay for drivers ed. on her own when she hits 18 and take care of it all. The risk to other people is to high. I could not live with myself if I participated in her hurting anyone because she was using and because she is impulsive (part of her mental health issues). ADHD kids who are unmedicated are impulsive and make even worse decisions on the road than "normal" teens. Driving is an earned privaledge and I think to many kids have licenses who should not-they are just plain immature. [/QUOTE]
