[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 734156, member: 22819"] Thanks for all this support, I really need it. It's so good to have this objective feedback. Most everyone around us loves our son and just can't be this objective. Yes, my husband is definitely a saint. I don't know how I could have lived through this without him. He's been with us since my son was a baby, and has been the only father he's known. We both have dual citizenship, but my son has never lived in the US, and I have lived here for my entire adult life. I don't know how the system works over there, but I've heard we'd have to at least be residents of a state to get any kind of help. But I'll look into it. He hadn't gotten this violent for several months, since he was using. He'd been clean for several months, with random drug tests from psychiatrist. The last test was done last Tuesday, after two months of not doing one. So, he must have thought "well, they probably won't test me again for at least a month, so I can smoke some marijuana today". He smoked the day after said test, but someone saw him and told us, so we surprised him with a test two days later. He gets psychotic with cannabis, but he won't accept this. He continues wanting to believe that we cause these incidents (by not giving into his terrorist tactics and by enforcing consequences). I think this is the most important thing for him - to realize the effect it has on him. I am missing him so much today. How long will this feeling last? Will it ever go away? [/QUOTE]
