Thanks guys.
I talked to my MSW friend who says it's the parents and their "Princess Parenting" who are to blame (if you're into blaming) but it also helps me understand this phenomenon. I've seen this too with our former neighbors, it's mind blowing to me.
I know he feels supported, after our discussions last night. He's relieved it's out, and we're problem solving together.

Concernednurse: thank you for your concerns, my main defense against my kids turning to drugs and alcohol is communication and education. This has been a challenge because he was afraid to come to me and talk, whereas he usually tells me EVERYTHING. I mean this guy is an open book, which I love.
