[QUOTE="vligrl, post: 509588, member: 14003"] Thank you for the opinions. Like all of you, I never thought I would be in this place of constant worry. I have just the one child, but my worry is enough for a houseful of kids. I look at old photos of my angelic looking child with the blond curls and happy smile and mourn the loss. My mother is suffering from advancing Dementia yet I cry just thinking about my son all the time. Even as I write this, my heart is breaking. I can't just turn off the worry and concern and go about my life in a normal manner. I have tried. I went to the place of not checking the car, social networks and convincing myself that what will be, will be and he will have to hit bottom sooner or later and deal. But every time I took the dog's out in the morning, I would walk over to his car and take a look around for anything unusual. I didn't want to open the car and get a whiff. He has a few room deodorizers in the car, of course not to mask anything....... What advice can you all give me as to what to do about his transportation to and from school that is a half hour away? The guy will be 19 in May and I thought my days of getting up early and driving him to school were over at 16. Is this selfish of me? I trust him as far as I can throw him, yet I don't want to have to police him going to school everyday, do I? I feel like such a fool knowing he gets high and then comes home, takes a shower to wash off the scent and eats. I have warned him about the dangers as has his schools but kids refuse to believe there are dangers. I told my son how much I worry about the possible effects that may take place as he ages due to his drug use, especially with my Mom having Dementia and my uncle having issues too.
