[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 741929, member: 22547"] I feel your pain. My son graduated at the top of his class and all his teachers told me that he was made for college..... But he would rather smoke pot with his “friends” and work part time at jobs that don’t require he pass a drug test. I started attending alanon meetings back in January and I find it very helpful. I need to learn how to be ok no matter what he is doing or not doing. I really like what Copabanana said about things evolving if we sit quietly in ourselves. They are young still and I believe that they are still looking to defy us not realizing how self defeating it really is. It’s kind of like watching a train crash in slow motion for me and i can’t push him off the track, but there is plenty of time for him to get out of the way if he decides to. They can turn it all around and probably will eventually, I think for me I’ve been just watching and waiting for any sign of that and it’s kinda like the watched pot analogy. [/QUOTE]
