hi at wits end, sorry u had to find us..but so glad u did.! there will be others along who will post and give you ideas. I have to say you sound like you have a pretty good handle so far. I ,like piecesMom also worry about sending him to grandmother. I worry because the drug test showed more than pot. I know with my Difficult Child that drugs other than pot make him belligerent, and angry at everything. (just plain nasty.) I would worry that if he didn't stay away from the hard stuff that he could turn on grandma, and she doesn't need that. If he is turning 18 he could be given an ultimatum...abide by my rules or there is the door...He might reconsider his behavior if the thought of being homeless is looming over his head. Yes he needs a counselor pronto! I don't understand why they haven't been able to get one for him yet! Its so frustrating when as a parent you want to act and then your hands are tied. I hope they find one quickly.
