[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 724805, member: 18958"] em. compared to the other kids on this site your son's issues are minimal. i hate marijuana too. and that has been my son's drug of choice. but he has not worked for 6 years, has been homeless and struggled with emotional issues. the point is: he is the one who can hold himself accountable. or not. the only thing that works is holding your space and yourself as inviolable. holding him accountable to observe rules in your house, towards you. in his own life he rules. unless he is in your house. you have the right to insist he leave. do you want this? that is your only legitimate power over him, i think. i know. i know. i truly cannot put this into practice that good. but i get the concept!
