[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 503127, member: 59"] Sig, thank you for sharing your story. You've shared bits and pieces before but never the whole thing. I am curious, was it just that one beer and citation that caused you to take him to therapy and put you on alert? The reason I'm asking is because we had much more evidence on our difficult child, she was drinking every weekend and smoking pot every chance she got and yet we couldn;t get anyone to take notice until we finally got the police involved. Her count was .297 when we took her to the hospital when she passed out in our basement at the flag team get together much to our surprise and embarrassment. She was not even kicked off the team because it was not a school sponsored event and just ahd to apologize to the team. Even her court appearance was nothing, just probation for 6 months because they said they felt we as her parents were doing a better job than they could :groooansmileyf:. Why was it so hard to get a counselor? Most all of the kids around here drink, not that I condone it at all, but if she had only drank one beer I'm not sure I would have been as vigilant in thinking there was a problem. Were there other indications that caused red flags to wave for you? Nancy [/QUOTE]
