[QUOTE="washington57, post: 853761, member: 25212"] I can't agree with any of these tough love crap responses. Drugs? Why is that what everyone just jumps to as being the root of the problem? If it is just weed then, no drugs aren't the kids problem. And even if he tested positive for any number of other drugs, unless he was being violent, stealing, losing his job due to them then whatever. Alcohol and cigs are just as bad as much illegal drugs. He is probably lashing out because he is frustrated at the world. Even "responsible" kids get angry at their parents. Boo freakin hoo, what he needs is you guys to support him. So what if he blew up at you, he is your son. You lose respect for your son? He is 18 and doesn't know anything, GET OVER IT AND BE A GOOD FATHER. Stop making this about you and your wife. If you try to give him tough love crap then you WILL lose your son. ( Personally I left home at 18 to make my own way without my parents help because I couldn't live by their house rules, it was my decision and my parents were angry at me for a few years, eventually we got to have a good relationship that lasts to this day) The above may be a little harsh, but basically this is being blown way out of proportion.
