[QUOTE="1000sunsets, post: 600427, member: 16512"] Missnemo, At least you have found this site to bring some sort of comfort or advise on your situation. My son who is now 30 and homeless started smoking pot around the age of 17. We had many arguments about the smell in the house and him bringing it into the house. My job allowed me to relocated to another city and my wife and I were really hoping that this move was going to be a good change especially for him. Actually the situation got worst as he met new acquaintances that were into drugs (his wife being one). As the years went by he was arrested for many things and ended up in jail and prison. As parents we spent our savings trying to get him out of trouble and supporting him and his wife as much as we could. We always thought that we could make a difference and they could start a good life together but it just got worst. My wife and I ended up taking care of their son who is now 8 years old. They have destroyed their vehicles, relationships, and their lives. I had to run her out of our home because I saw her using the needle. I also had my son kicked out and arrested for using a needle. The last straw was when they stole from our grandson (video games, video player, and television to pawn and support their habit). I have not heard from my son in over a week. The car he was living out of sustained motor problems and he was left in the streets. He made various phone calls leaving messages and textes on my phone. I never answered or returned his calls or textes. My wife and I ache about the whole situation as she is having a harder time with it than I am but this was the best thing (I think) that we could do for him and being 30 he will have to learn to how to survive. My wife and I are just too old to be raising kids. We have the joy now of raising our grandkids (6) and intent to do that as long as we can. Overall, my advise would be to keep on him like a hawk to see what else he is doing (such as other drugs) and who his friends are.
