[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110579, member: 1550"] If they don't respect you, and dare to call you out about "son being a product of his environment" (what :censored:) I wouldn't see them at all. Christmas is a time to be with those you love and who love you and treat you in a loving way. If it were me, next year I wouldn't ruin my Christmas by spending any time with them. And I certainly wouldn't worry about anything they say. Although they are not diagnosed, they could have mental health issues. I have a 23 year old daughter who was a drug abuser and she really acted up when she was on drugs too and she has no diagnosis. However, I do believe she has a mild/moderate mood disorder which may have triggered her drug use. She is clean now, but still tends to get very stressed, even fall apart, under pressure at work. And, no, it's not just like all of us. It's a step beyond. I need to talk her down. Kids choose to take drugs for a reason. If they are not just experimenting and keep it up beyond high school, it's probably (not always) due to underlying mental health issues. My daughter is living a full, functional life now, but she has asked me if I think she should go for any sort of help...it's a start. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
