[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 39239, member: 27"] Mikey, I guess that means you really haven't been reading or understanding what anyone here has been suggesting. There's not one person on here that I recall that suggested booting your son out. You cannot throw him out of your home, but you can let him know, in no uncertain terms, that you will not allow him to live there while drugging, and especially the in your face drugging. Whether that means forcing treatment, residential, calling the police or whatever - he needs to know that you will not accept that behavior and that you will follow through. You keep saying that you didn't feel the hurt or the pain, and therefore, you're not ready to do anything about it. I'm sorry, but I truly do not understand that statement at all. Haven't felt the pain? Your son was cooking up marijuana desserts in your kitchen knowing your wife was coming home, and that doesn't inflict pain or hurt, knowing he's rubbing your face in it? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> while addressing the drugs because his real problems are emotional and internal, which is causing the dependancy on pot. </div></div> So now you agree that he has a dependency on pot? You're making progress. [img]:smile:[/img] What do you mean by emotional and internal? His ADD? Whatever the diagnosis, it does not excuse the drugging, anymore than it did in my son's case, as he turned to pot when the symptoms of his obsessive compulsive disorder began to emerge. That sure didn't make a whit of difference to the judge who fined him and found him guilty of an adult felony because of the drugs when he was barely 17. Many of our kids reached for drugs to self-medicate or because of emotional issues. That does not excuse it or justify it. Tough love is tough. Of course, it's tougher watching your child self-destruct before your eyes. I knew that my son was going to end up dead or in jail because of the drugging. For me, the choice was simple ... and no, I didn't boot my son out. I spent weeks calling and knocking on doors until I found a program that could help him and gave him his choice - that or I turn him over to the police. I wish you and your family nothing but the best, and truly hope that things work out. Deb [/QUOTE]
