[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 565192"] When he came home stoned his first night home after his freshman year away at school (2 Cs and a D, plus an A in weightlifting) in May of 2011, we insisted he see his psychiatrist. He went to 3 sessions. That's all we could force. He refused to go back. I had hoped that 3 mandatory sessions with the psychiatrist he used to really like (the one that set him back on the right path) would be enough to keep him going voluntarily. If I could just get him in the door - maybe he would find worth in it. We begged, offered to find him a new psychiatrist, anyone of his choosing. No such luck. He VEHEMENTLY refuses and we've stopped offering. August of 2011 we told him we could not send him back to school knowing he intended to smoke A LOT of pot (he had purchased a boatload of paraphernalia including a scale the day before he was to leave for his soph year). The deal on the table was staying home, getting professional guidance, taking a CC class or two in preparation to returning to school full time in January. We offered it calmly with a lack of judgment. We could not send him back to school - he had broken every family "rule". He was using drugs, his grades were in the toilet (weightlifting was the sub for a biochem class he had to drop bc he was failing it) We were totally unprepared for the firestorm that erupted. He stormed out with all of his things. Totally unexpected response. Never contacted us until we initiated contact. I was a basket case. That was the night I found the boards... [/QUOTE]
