[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 443496, member: 59"] My difficult child is 20 years old. She turned 18 the summer before college too and was arrested in Oct of her freshman year for smoking pot and having alcohol in her dorm. She was eventually suspended from college. She went on the rest of the year to continue to smoke pot and drink beer constantly, got fired form her job, spent last summer in a resdiential treatment center, came out and relapsed, got kicked out of the house and spent the next two months living with a neighbor boy whose parents allowed them to smoke pot and drink in their house. She is now livingin a sober house and has been sober for over three months. We will not allow her to move back home. Pot is addictive. It also leads to other things for kids like our who have an addictive personality. When difficult child could not find or afford pot because she had no money, she would look for an pills she could to crush and snort. Thank goodness she got help before she turned to harder drugs. I agree with not paying for college right now and having him see a counselor. He is 18 and of course can refuse, but you don't have provide support to him either. What a shame your difficult child and mine and so many others here, gave up an opportunity to go to college and make something of themselves for what? A quick high? What a shame. I hope he finds help before it goes any further. Nancy [/QUOTE]
