[QUOTE="DDD, post: 132004, member: 35"] Sending understanding hugs your way. It is awful to have the child you love insist on making choices that can end with incarceration, injury, permanent damage or death. Sadly there is no way to make healthy choices for him. Read through the posts here (they go back for years) and you will know you are not alone. Most of us had awesome youngsters who chose to travel the dangerous road of alcohol and drugs. You will find that each of us tried and tried and tried. The only success stories are when the intervention took place at the beginning of the use. By the time 18 is just around the corner, you can't do anything but pray and try to provide a healthy environment for the rest of the family...you just can't let your user take the whole family down. by the way, even when you start young...it doesn't always work. We sent our son to a private program at 15, a better private program after he was kicked out of that one and then tried the "toughest love" by having the Department of Juvenile Justice authorities commit him to a six month program at 16. If they DON'T want the program it doesn't do much good. Sending supportive hugs your way. I'm sorry. DDD [/QUOTE]
