Hi.

I was just calling for your advice.

I have a 17 year old son whom I caught last summer when he was six years. your We put him part of a 12-step program. We thought everything was good, so we were kind of, you know, trusting him again.

About a month ago, I randomly drug tested him because I was randomly drug testing him throughout the period but it'd been maybe a couple months since I had so I thought I would do it again and it was positive. So he's been sober for a month now. He's

back on the 12-step program. My husband brought him to a rehab facility and in the interview told them if you do it again you have to come to rehab and if you don't want to come to rehab you'll be 18 by then and then you're out. We're not putting up with it. Your mom and I aren't living like this.

What was his dream earlier in his life? What was his dream?

He wanted to be an NHL player.

We know when he was a kid he played rack hockey.

He had a really bad time in high school.

He had no friends in high school. He had no friends in high school. And why would he have no friends?
