ChrisHB Jan 2012 7:46pm, 10 Jan 2012 6,948 posts	0 ChrisHB Reading the thread, I realise we've been pretty lucky with our teenagers. Obviously it's terrible when they do something awful, but when you realise ages later it was a one-off, it doesn't seem so important. So far two and some fractions of ours have grown up, and we really expect the remaining two to make it before they're many years older.

mulbs Feb 2012 7:38am, 2 Feb 2012 4,921 posts	0 mulbs It's probably going to mean a lock on several doors and the removal of all alcohol from the house and keeping valuables locked away and I've no experience of dealing with withdrawal from mdma or m-cat or alcohol . . .
