[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 749749, member: 23706"] Hi again. I am sad for you. I know how you feel and how much you want to help. So did we. My daughter smokes pot, and probably does more, on a daily basis, and has for twenty years. I think the drugs ruined her brain and she is in no hurry to quit nor does she believe she has a mental illness. My daughter refuses to see a therapist as she thinks doctors and Big Pharma just want to control the masses and this includes psychiatrists and even a non doctor counselor. Most of all she thinks she is normal and that pot is a healthy plant that can cure everything from schizophrenia to cancer. Even if your son is mentally ill, he needs to be compliant and not use street drugs for psychiatric medicine and therapy to work. If he will do those things I would urge you to see what he is like in treatment. That I would pay for. It is the only thing I would pay for, and my money would go straight to the doctor, no cash ever to Josh!! Big mistake that we once made. Kay spent any cash we gave her on various drugs, not spent as she had promised. For most of us, the children who bring us here don't think they have problems, wont seek psychiatric care and wont stop abusing their brains by taking street drugs. I still consider pot a street drug. My Kay has a history of very severe drug use when younger and now she lives in another state so I cant see what she does. I only know what she tells me and she claims she only uses pot. Lots and lots of pot. I dont know what the truth is. She often sounds very delusional. It scares me. She is getting close to homelessness now. I truly hope that Josh takes an easier path and is kinder to himself. I hope he gets treatment for his mental illness. Until he does, don't keep trying to save him. We did that. It only made Kay helpless, entitled, and more abusive to us each year. Now she wont talk to us at all and its sad, but it is also kind of a relief. Be well and I hope he gets the help he needs. All we can do is hope and pray. [/QUOTE]
