[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 727313, member: 15032"] Lost By the way your son is behaving I'm thinking it is probably more than just weed. My son doesn't act like that when he smokes only weed however he cannot smoke weed because he is an addict. His thing was benzos and alcohol - a deadly combo. I don't say this to scare you but I would be very shocked if this was all he was using. Leafy above gave you great advice. She has been through a lot. She was one of the first people I met on here and one of the most understanding and compassionate. Listen to her advice. You will not get better advice anywhere, trust this. The fact that you were desperate enough to find this forum - I remember that feeling - tells me you may be ready to change things. He will not change. You cannot WAIT for him to change. You have to change. I suggest seeing a therapist for yourself that has experience with addiction. That is what I am doing. She has helped me set boundaries for us and our son. I KNEW we needed help. He needed help but we needed help too. When our children are sick, we are sick too. Feeling sorry for him doesn't help (he feels alone). I did that too. It just clouds your thinking. The most ironic thing of all is that all our suffering and living like you are living is NOT helping your son. Crazy isn't it? I learned that here too. I think most of us would gladly suffer if it helped them! I know I would. [/QUOTE]
