My son is 20 years old. When he graduated high school, he went ibnto the navy. After boot camp he was released on a medical discharge for kidney problems. He decided to go on to college. The summer before his first year, he got messed up on meth,marijuana, and prescription pills. I thought that he had overcome this. He promised he was on the right road with school starting and all. This is his second year of college and he called today to let me know he has been suspended from college, but did not want to move back home if he had to live by my rules. Which is NO DRUG USE. He talked about rehab, but I believe he has changed his mind. I have tried to call him several times, but he refuses to talk to me. I am very scared. He has no place to stay if he can't stay on campus, he has no job, no vehicle,I am scared he might if he hasn't already resorted to selling drugs. I don't know what to do or say, but it is so hard to just let him figure all this out on his on. Someone please give me advise and a prayer.

Be strong and believe in tough love. You cant do anything to change him ....only he can do that . Do not take it personal , that you did something wrong or are not doing the right thing. Your son knows you love him and that is about all you can do. I wish there was a magic fix-all answer but there isnt . It isnt that your son doesnt love you or care, Meth takes over us addicts like a thief in the night. one minute we have control, the next our lives are gone, only meth matters.......hopefully he can see that before he loses his......Be there for him if he is clean, but be prepared for him to lie and continue to use. Only he can make the choice, I am so very sorry for your situation. it wasnt untill a short while ago I finally opened my eyes to what I have done to my mother , and now all I can do is help others with meth to make it right ....my prayers are your son opens his
Stephanie-
Oh I know the feeling in your heart. I am in a similar situation with my son and I wish I had an answer for his life but I don't. I will keep you and your son in my prayers.
