[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 574749, member: 13882"] Hi and welcome, A few questions: He's working full time and attending school full time - so I assume he's earning some money. Dumb question, but why would he feel the need to sell drugs? I know that sellers are users who need to fund their habit, but if he's on pot alone, it's not all that expensive. Also, where is he selling these drugs? It's a sketchy business, even just marijuana, and he is probably aligning himself with some bad hombres. How do you know some armed wacko won't just show up at your house? Do you have an alarm system? It's dangerous for you and your husband, and any other children you may have. I've been there done that and remember being scared out of my wits. Someone he sells to may also drop a dime on him to the police, and if he's picked up for selling/distributing, he can kiss his aircraft future job goodbye. It is SO not worth it, and I'm sure you're very frustrated. It's also a little disconcerting to read that he uses and sells drugs and is inches away from being an aircraft maintenance worker! Sigh. I hope if/when he gets a job he is drug tested frequently and randomly! Aside from that, I think you and your husband are doing a good job. TL recommended Al anon, and that's excellent advice.
