[QUOTE="Greg B, post: 673753, member: 19783"] Yes, it's sad, but it sounds as though you've made a few baby steps, and I hope those steps continue. Who knows? Maybe it's just her path. Strangely, even though I feel as though my son and I have lost touch, when we do see each other (like on Thanksgiving) I feel proud of the guy he's become. Of course, it was a holiday, and I wasn't going to press him with pragmatics, but seeing him reunite with his brother and his cousins gave me some hope. And yes, I'm amazed (and a little resentful) how other kids can continue their educations and follow their dreams while smoking pot, while it seems to have rendered my boy hapless and helpless. He can't see it yet. Or if he does, he feels helpless to do anything about it. As a former recreational user, I don't recognize myself now when I talk about pot and the harm it can do. It's hard not to sound like an evangelist. But I remember my boy before he smoked and that's the son I recognize, and won't give up on. [/QUOTE]
