[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 131788, member: 1233"] You are right. You can't continue to live this way. It is a danger to the younger children and to you and your husband. Somewhere there are rehab facilities in your state for 17yos. Too many people of all ages with drug/alcohol problems for there not to be. But if HE doesn't want to be clean/sober it won't work. No matter what you do. Are you afraid he will hurt you? Has he ever been violent with anyone in the family? Chances are, if he intimidates the rehab counsellor, he will or has hurt one of your children. I pray not. If you let him stay at home and use drugs, how will you keep your other children on the right path behaviorally? Is your husband on the same page as far as finding rehab or other options? Will he support you in this effort? No matter what your son does, please go to NarcAnon or AlAnon. And take your other son to Alateen. It really does help. My experience is as the little sister who's bro brought all kinds of friends/ideas home with him while mom and dad worked. He may have threatened either of your other children with harm if they tell. Or don't do what he wants. One mom here says that whatever they admit to, they are doing a lot more. She is probably right. Go to AlAnon with your husband and figure out what you can/cannot live with. Make sure he isn't alone iwth his siblings. Be careful of your safety. Lock up any/all valuables. Be sure you put locks on the bedroom door, your other children's doors - GOOD locks, not normal interior door locks. I'm sorry. This is so very hard on a parent's heart, on a sibling's heart, on a family. I will keep you in my prayers. (((((hugs))))) Susie [/QUOTE]
