[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 647029, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome to our little corner of the CD board. Many of us have gone through what you are going through now and understand how you feel. I would start off with finding a new therapist. My difficult child charmed many a therapist. When we found a center where the therapists actually saw through the charm, difficult child didn't "like" them and didn't want to go to them anymore. But there are addiction specialists and you need to find one fast. Your difficult child is in a downward spiral and is not going to suddenly turn around. In my opinion, he is way past normal teenage rebellion and experimentation. My personal opinion is that you need to look into a residential treatment center. I would do anything to get him away from his druggie friends. I wish we had seen what was really going on when my difficult child was 16 and starting down the same path. Thirteen years later she is a alcoholic drug addict who goes from rehab to rehab. Tell your wife that pot is only the beginning for some kids. Mine eventually shot up heroin before we held an intervention and sent her to a three month rehab program. Others will be along with thoughts and advice. We always tell everyone to take the advice that makes sense to you and leave the rest. There will be many different opinions which is a great thing. Everyone has had different experiences to share. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
