[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 276789, member: 3305"] Hello Kadyr, Just another here wanting you to know you are certainly not alone. Both of my sons are alcoholic/drug addicts. They have left the drugs alone for some time now...alcohol is still a problem. Lying and stealing definitely signs of drug use. I agree with the others that there is likely more drug use than pot going on with your son. I know you said you've tried therapists but have you ever gone to an Al Anon meeting for yourself...so that you can learn how to detach and take good care of number one. There are lots of other parents going through the exact same thing...good people too ya know. Moms and dads who have worked their rear ends off to provide well and do their very best with their children and still end up with a drug abusing child. It does happen to the best of us. It's gotta be tough too with this being your only child...I'm an only child and I was no easy task for my mother to deal with as a teen either. I also had no dad. With that being said...YOU are a very important person in your son's life...could be alot of codependent behaviors going on too. Again, I highly recommend Al Anon as a live support group. I'm glad you're reaching out...Please take good care of yourself. Listening and caring, Tammy [/QUOTE]
