[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 725248, member: 22313"] Thanks for your replies...always good advice coming from both of you. Sad to say I could see myself paying my daughter for weed that we flushed if in a weak moment she had the nerve to ask me. Not my husband though. How many times we give in to our young manipulators ... it's embarrassing but no one knows what it's like unless they witness the wrath these people can unleash. I will say I've caved on certain things just to end the nightmare many times. I'm getting better. And when you are isolated with these masters of emotional blackmail, sometimes logic and good sense can become convoluted. It's the fight or flight.....I guess once the fight goes out of us or doesn't work then we tend to run away or bury our heads and give in. When I first learned what the acronym FOG meant (on this site) I finally understood what was going on. It truly is not easy getting out of it. But it's the only way anyone can move forward. This journey is two steps forward one step back...always. For a while I feel good or strong and then I feel like maybe I am my daughter's only lifeline. There are other lifelines she can utilize if she needs to. She knows the shelters but probably doesn't want to try because she wants to smoke weed. The time is going to come but I am not ready. I honestly would like to thank our pot culture for taking my daughter from me. Brought up in northern CA where it's basically thought of as nothing more than an herb... it's medicine for anything and everything...only problem is it keeps you from growing up. Keeps you from finding your inner inspiration and motivation. Weed becomes your only reason to get up in the morning...IT becomes the inspiration...such great "medicine". And it perpetuates the loop of anxiety. Helps in the moment possibly but who wouldn't develop anxiety not knowing where they will be sleeping night after night. All these young pro-pot folks...just wait til their own teenagers some day become addicted strangers down the road. No one with a depressed, pot smoking teenager can possibly be pro weed. Anyway I don't feel bad for flushing it anymore. She knew our rules snd still disrespected us not the other way around. [/QUOTE]
