[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 668165, member: 16024"] Hi and welcome, Paul! Glad you found us. Most of our pot-smoking young adult kids have tried other drugs. Not all, but enough to make one assume it is likely. They tend to run in circles of people that use other drugs, so they have access to a variety of drugs if they want them. It is terrible that your son has introduced, or at least enabled, your 17yo to smoke pot. You have to protect your minor child, so you did the right thing by kicking your son out. Your son is an adult now. Where is he living now? I'm glad your mom is on the same page as you, regarding your son. It makes things so much easier! She sounds like a wonderful person who probably has a lot of wisdom to impart to this board if she is interested in joining us. We have several members who have adult kids that have turned their life around, or are in the process of doing so. But, in all cases, it has been they themselves who have made that choice, and did the hard work involved. Don't let your guilt about the past cloud your good judgment in dealing with your son. Everyone has things they wish they had done differently, but we all have to operate in the here-and-now, not the past. Have you checked out the Parent Emeritus Board? There is an article on detachment at the top of the forum that you should read when you have a chance. We are all in the process of coping with our DCs. I hope you will stay and walk this journey with us. Apple [/QUOTE]
