[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone calling you nuts? Maybe because they're opposed to divorce and giving you a hard time. Yes I would be concerned about my kid if his friends were doing drugs,or in an environment where drugs,are available and there is a lack of appropriate supervision or parenting. But all you can do is talk to him about your concerns. I dont know how you can forbid him from being in his friend's company. [/quote]

I agree that pps are being ridiculous, it's times like this when I suspect most people do not have children or their children are very young. [b]Teens still need guidance. [/b]

I agree that having a heart to heart with her son is the best move. Getting into it with her ex or  coming down hard on the son won't resolve anything.

I also understand OP's " hurting us" comment. Perhaps it was poorly worded, but her son is likely  hurting over his parents divorce, and what seems like a less than friendly situation with ex. Teens often do things their parents wouldn't approve of to"get back" at them for something.

OP talk to your son about your concerns  and why you have them.[/quote]

Guidance, yes.  Not control.  Huge difference in your approach.[/quote]
