[QUOTE="kt4394, post: 687913, member: 20273"] Hi Struggling Dad. Welcome. Your story is very close to mine. I have a 15 year old son who loves and lives for pot. He is a different person when he's smoking or when he's laying off. I can always tell by the attitude. He is angry and mean when he's smoking or has been. I think has quit a few times and he is being back to my son. He's nice, polite, fun to be around. As it stands, we filed a CRA (child requiring assistance) on him last month and he now has a probation officer and we go back in front of the judge at the end of the month. I thought this would scare him. It may have a little, but he's over it. He's back to hanging with him same druggie friends and back to smoking pot. It's all he cares about. We thought that filing was the right thing to do, the only way to stop him from ruining his life even further. I hope it helps eventually. We just told him that he has his first drug screening on Friday and he freaked out and took off. He knew it was coming, but reality sucks. He is going to fail the test and we all know it. That's on him. It was his decision. We have been bending over backwards to support and encourage him. It's just so hard. When they're that age, you want to protect them, you want to shield them from everything that could hurt them. He's still our responsibility. I couldn't kick him out even if I wanted to. All we can do is cut off the money, try to discipline, and pray for the best. And love him. That's one of the hardest parts. Remember, you don't have to like him. Do not feel responsible for his choices. Our kids may be our babies, but they're old enough to make their own decisions and make their own future. I wish I had some words of encouragement. I just don't. But, you have my empathy and hopes and wishes sent your way. Also, I recommend Al Anon. It's nice to meet/listen to people in the same boat. If you go online, they code the meetings. Try to find a Parent Meeting. It's really think it's worth a try. [/QUOTE]
