[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 385650, member: 1953"] I'm curious if you have dug down into his drug use. I know you stated he is smoking pot, based on his behavior I would say there is a possibility that he is using something other than pot. The fact that he stole the Xbox is a screaming red flag for me, also the holes in the walls, the irrational behavior. Kids usually don't steal and sell things for pot money,although I suppose it is possible. Many kids are using prescription drugs these days, it has been proven that prescription drugs are very often the first drug a kid will try nowadays ahead of pot and alcohol. You may want to drug test him. His behavior could mean he is addicted to more than pot. It is just my opinion, but please don't leave the house because of your son, your wife and son need you more now than ever. I do understand not wanting to live with all the chaos, violence, and defiance, but you are needed. Please hang in there, if you leave it will get worse. It does take some of us moms longer to get fed up, we have to try to protect and fix them first. It doesn't come easily but for many of us it does come. I understand we went through very much the same thing. As you can see in my signature my story does not end with a happy ending, we lost our son to an overdose 4 1/2 years ago. Love, Lia [/QUOTE]
