[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 705859, member: 15032"] Welcome Percy. Glad you found us but sorry you needed to! More will be along to offer advice but here's my two cents. We have been down this road as you can see by my signature. Your son is most likely using more than weed. Most kids that go off the skids are not just smoking weed. What parents know is usually just the tip of the iceberg. For our son it was a gateway drug. Husband and I both smoked it too when we were his age but we had a shut off switch for being in an altered state. Our son did not. Bottom line is you need to protect your younger children from this behavior. I would not allow this in my home. Your son is in control of your home right now and that is not how it is supposed to be. I would write up a contract for him to follow house rules and what is expected of him. You can find samples on line. You need to discuss it with him so it is very clear what you expect and have him sign it. I would also start eviction proceedings. If he does not follow your rules, he will know that you are serious about what you will tolerate. My son laughed at our contract and now he is 1300 miles away and doing much better. He just couldn't grow in our home. I found this site and it gave me the strength to take our home and our life back. I just wish we had gotten tougher sooner. I don't know what we were afraid of!!
