[quote=Anonymous]Lower school?  Well I agree that if the coaches were aware something is terribly wrong.  My guess is that there is more to the story, but I have no idea.

I also suspect that unless you are really not observant, the first sign that your DC has an addiction problem will not be his getting kicked out of school.  I can imagine it being a total surprise if it was some kind of drug thing but not addiction.  You sound like a very attentive parent and my guess is that even if you didn't know what was going on, you would know something was going on, and you would find out what it was.

Remember you are hearing these stories from the parents who will look to blame anyone.  I'm sure they are good people but I've seen this dynamic before, the search for a villain.  Sometimes there is no villain.  Sometimes the parents screwed up and missed the signs.  But you do have to consider the source here.  If you have a child dealing with something so difficult you will naturally be angry and look for someone to hang your anger on.[/quote]
