[QUOTE="IKeepPraying, post: 133408, member: 4729"] Hello, I am pretty new here as well, and I hear your pain. My son is 17 as well and will be 18 in 8 days. Its true, you cant force anyone into rehab. However, the courts can. I have 2 little girls as well and they are witnessing this too. Its not good for them to be seeing this but its hard to hide it from them when we are all living it together. I haven't read the other replies so I'm not sure if someone suggested this yet, as hard as it may be to do, you can have him arrested when you find him under the influence or in possession of drugs or alcohol. Then when he goes to court you can plead with judge and let him know how much help he really needs. Once therapy is court ordered, he doesn't have a say so in the matter. I just did that with my son and they arrested him in our home for having drugs and then released him to me right then. I struggled with it at first, must have picked up the phone a good ten times before actually dialing. We are just waiting to hear from the courts. People with drug problems need to be forced and this is the only way I can see that happening. Good luck [/QUOTE]
