[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 131985, member: 1550"] I may have wanted to tell her off, but I know better. It only makes things worse. This is my interpretation. Your son has problems independent of this girl. She is a catalyst, but not the cause. Maybe they aren't good for one another, but most people can handle a breakup without threatening suicide. His self-medication of pot could be a lot more. My daughter used drugs and while many kids will admit to pot smoking, usually they are doing more and won't admit THAT. I was talking to her about that just today (she has gone straight and is my "expert" on drug use). It's very unusual for heavy pot smokers to only be smoking pot. Your son isn't acting right and my main concern would be helping him, if he'll let you, rather than trying to change the behavior of his girlfriend (which you can't do). It's really up to your son, at his age, if he wants to get help or go out with this girl. Obviously they are toxic to one another, but they are almost eighteen. There is nothing you can legally do to prevent it. Has your son had problems all of his life? [/QUOTE]
