[QUOTE="So Tired, post: 203395, member: 4772"] Well, I wish I had some good advice to offer. Mine is 18 and I'm still puzzled as to why he chooses to self distruct! For most of his senior year it was absolutely horrible in our home -- I fought with him constantly trying to get him through high school. He refused to get up, only passed the classes he needed to graduate (flunked the rest), was verbally and physically abusive. My goal was to see him through his high school degree and we made it! Lately I have found some peace in realizing that I can not change him -- only the way I react. Have you always had problems with him, or is this something new related to the drugs? I'm so sorry -- I can tell you are very frustrated. It is so difficult to watch them make such bad decisions for their lives and futures. I also have tried many things to get mine the help he needs, but he refuses. I have finally realized that I have done what I can for him... of course, mine is nearly 19 now and so I have more options. I am wishing you strength and perspective.... [/QUOTE]
