[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 509706, member: 12490"] My son is younger - so I don't speak from experience of having gone through exactly what you are going through. I will say this though - I have promised myself that if the "madness" is still going on when he is 18, he is on his own. I will not live with a drug user. I have lived the chaos, the constant fear and have done my best. My son is doing OK right now, but my husband and I agree, when he's 18, we will not livein this drama, no matter what. I have read many stories from board members with older kids and the common denominator seems to be, you have to cut off any support before anything changes. I will not live with a drug user and I don't want you to have to either. Your belief in stopping his drug use must come first, before school and before the car. If he thinks a life on drugs is the way to go, he can find his own place to live, a way to pay for school and a car. [/QUOTE]
