[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 503144, member: 59"] I understand better now, so it wasn't just the one beer he had at the party, he admitted to drinking previously and experimenting with drugs. Honestly Sig in my area there are not that many parents who would have been as diligent as you or taken it as seriously. They thought we were crazy when we cracked down so hard on difficult child, but we had the background information on her birthparents that had the red flags waving for years, so we knew this wasn't just teens being teens. Honestly most of the parents here turn their heads to their teens drinking and even allow them to drink in their homes as long as they dont; drive. They have the attitude that if they get good grades and are popular it is ok. Of course we never did go along with that because while they may drink and smoke pot they would turn out ok and we knew ours would not. And while we never had a problem finding a counselor for difficult child over the years, I do remember now having a difficult time finding one after she was released form rehab. Many did not want to deal with substance abuse. Nancy [/QUOTE]
