How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

My son is 14 years old and is in the 9th grade. Yesterday was his birthday and his teacher allowed him to have a celebation in the classroom. He says that his teacher gave him and about 5 of his classmates 3 shots of vodka. My son came home from school drunk and slurring his words.
My husband doesn’t really think that its such a big deal that our son came home drunk. He says that our son is old enough to make his own decisions and if he wants to be a drunk then that’s his business not ours. Is this right? Should my son be allowed to get drunk if he wants to? Should I allow his teacher to get away with this?? Help please!

My son will be staying at a place called Faith House, run by a church group for ex-felons and recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. There are 14 guys and a live-in house manager. He said they told him he will be randomly tested for drugs once or twice a week. He wants to know if they will send him to a bathroom for the sample or if they will watch the urine come out of him (I honestly think it’s more because of bladder shyness that he’s worried)

He could really use the help for a few months to get back on his feet after a bad relationship. I have offered to do anything I can to help him. I am very stressed as I lived with 20yrs of this with my father. He is a wonderful intelligent person, who says he doesn’t need to & wont drink anymore, but I can tell he is. I really want to help him and am feeling physically & emotionally sick over this. I’ll probably feel worse asking him to leave, because he is not yet financially ready. We have talked about this several times now & I have told him it is the one thing I wont put up with and he agrees to this. Then it happens again. He thinks he is hiding it, but I see the change in personality, eyes, facial look etc. He has had 3 DWIs in is his past, and seeiing this brings back all I went through in the past with him & my father. His gifts & potential are so great & I want to help him so badly. I am just heart sick over this. Thanks for any help.

My husband (not my son’s father) died almost a year ago. He and my grown up son didn’t get along. When Tom died I moved from the family home into a small apartment in the downtown area for convenience. My son, who was an active cocaine and opiate user at the time moved in with me with my permission. I managed to help him get off the coke and he’s 3 months clean. However, he still uses painkillers on a daily basis. He’s on a methadone program but he supplements with the painkillers. I would like him to move on, stop using the opiates, get a job or go back to school and eventually become independent and willingly move out of my very small apartment into his own place.

He is in drug rehab for cocaine and I wanted to know if anyone else was in or has ever been in the same situation and what the results were. To make things worse we have a two year old son. I need to know what I could write in the letters that I sent to him to help encourage him. Thank You. God Bless You for your help.

The legal system will not do the job what other options do I have?

I had a special needs child going through some tough times and thought it would be better if my youngest son went and stayed with my brother. I am asked by my brother for money for food, clothing and when my child is sick I have to take him to the Dr. I don’t mind because he is my son. I am not an alcoholic or drug addict. He is not happy there. My brother has lied to him about me trying to turn my son against me. Please help

Crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he’s hungry.
And the only way to feed him is to sleep wit a man for a little bit of money.
And his daddy’s gone
Somewhere smoking crack now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t got a job now

My 10 year old son and I are being asked (told) to leave our home, because the owners couldn’t sell the property at the outrageous price of $800,000 for a 4-plex, so have decided to make it a rehabilitation home for alcoholics, and drug users.
Should I be PO’D as heck?
Yes it is legal for them to do this, to good families.
If some of you think kicking a child out of a safe, and secure home is just dandy, then I say you’re a liberal, and have no care for children.
