[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 509663, member: 1967"] Hey, Nancy, we have another shih tzu lover in the SA family! Yay! vligrl, the fact that you haven't seen him high or drunk doesn't mean it isn't happening. Our difficult child was very good at hiding the extent of her drug use. She would tell us goodnight and then go drink alone in her room. We didn't know until we found 40 empty beer cans hidden around her room. She was also abusing her prescription pills long before we were aware of it. We kept attributing a lot of her problems to her mood disorder but now I wonder if if wasn't drugs all along more than a mental health issue. I don't know . . . I am on the fence on how heavily your son is involved with drugs. The signs are all there, though, particularly the disinterest in school and a future. I still think I would let the rest of the semester play out and if he doesn't do well in school then give him the option of treatment or moving out. I'm glad that you have your husband to help you through this. You need to stay united, though, or your son will play you against each other. been there done that. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
