[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 700696, member: 13303"] Thanks everyone for the info. After speaking to family and friends about the generalities of weed smoking, my wife has decided for the moment to sit on the information about stepson dabbling in marijuana. The school emailed my wife yesterday to say stepson cut half a day of school. He is getting detention for a few days. These are the only consequences he ever receives - school, that is. My wife texted her ex-husband, with whom stepson lives, to ask his take on the situation and ex-husband said that he "guessed (stepson) thought he had permission to leave early." Nothing about punishment, consequences, even being upset with stepson for pulling such a stunt! It's no wonder the kid has no moral compass, no direction in life, and no conscience. We have no control over the lack of parenting and discipline at stepson's father's house and we need to learn to let it go. We also have no control over stepson's estrangement from us and we need to let that go too. 14 year old stepson is doing very well, good grades and no issues. He is in regular contact with us and things are good there. We don't have any reason to believe older, troubled stepson is influencing the 14 year old in a negative way. [/QUOTE]
