Is my dad Using again?

[kailazee123]

Before my dad got out of prison he was on speed.
Well my dad is a real family man and he even felt that prison was the way to get him to stop and we all thought so too.
Well I think he's doing it again.
Him and his friend kristi often take visits to the "storage building" at like 2 3 in the morning and stay gone for hours he's losing weight and he stays up all night long sometimes.
are there any sure-fire ways of knowing?

[kailazee123]

I smoke on the weekends. And no, no Probation.

[Calamity2]

I guess he isnt still on probation or he would be **** tested.  So how much pot do you smoke?

[kailazee123]

Well for one he was using before and He was in jail for drugs.
I am 14, And there's really nobody I can talk to about. I have asked him before but he turned it around on me by saying "you smoke pot".
he isn't prescribed any meds, he just takes the occasional Valium (spelling?)

If you believe he is back to using and see some signs, then chances are he is, but I hope he is not:( Losing weight can be a sign and so is staying up all night, speed wires ya. May I ask how old you are? Do you have someone close that you can talk to this about?

I would say that his behavior is a sure-fire way of knowing....

Can you talk to him about it?  If so...please do so a.s.a.p. as it sounds to me like he has just a short pass before he goes back to prison...

Best of Luck dear...

and... please keep us posted
