[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 709029, member: 1550"] You may want to take him for a substance abuse assessment. He may have minimized his drinking and pill use. My daughter was a drug addict and we dodnt realize it until she was doing it a while. By then she was almost eighteen. She fooled therspists. My daughter did drugs to be popular and it worked. I would be worried about your son if he were mine. Your ex has a problem. Your son wants to live with him probably because he could drink a lot and sneak using drugs and Dad really has no leg to stand on. To me, the real issue is the drugs and alcohol. Sometimes therapists are wrong or dont get full disclosure from the patient. My daughter convinced her therapist she used nothing at all. She was in a hospital for two weeks and they also told us ahe didnt use drugs based on her lies and onr blood test. In reality, after my daughter quit, ten years ago, she told us the whole story and I know my jaw must have hit the ground. She abused pot, alcohol, cocaine,meth, speed of any sort went up her nose (including crunchef ADHD drugs) she tried psychedelics and even heroin (she says she did not get addicted to heroin because she smoked it rather than injecting it and only did it twice). She was afraid to use a needle, thank God. Basically she did all this and we never knew how bad it was. Better safe than sorry. We never know the full extent of our kids involvement with substances and sadly usually their therapusts dont either. Dont be us. We had to throw her out for her to quit and that was horrible. An OD is telling you something. That is more than just for attention, although it can certainly be partly that. Within dark, rebellious teen groups, drug use is a badge of honor. Which encourages them to keep it up. The higher achoeving peers are not impressed by this though. Please take care. [/QUOTE]
