[QUOTE="mollyzuzu, post: 716424, member: 21853"] Talked with the social worker from the mental hospital late last week. She questioned whether I told my son he could smoke pot in moderation or not. And I reluctantly said that I told him that "if only you could learn MODERARTION, everything you do is sooo much"! I also told my son that i do not agree with pot, it is illegal, don't want it in my house and I don't want him to smoke period. Also told her that trauma specialist suggested that we tell him not "to smoke IN the house". Well we told him that and lo and behold he was able to read betweeen the lines and smoked "outside" the house, then went on to the coricidan where he overdosed. Social worker read me the riot act about him not being able to "smoke at ALL or do drugs at all" and by what we told him, it was sending mixed messages that it was okay to do what he was doing. So now we are to tell him NO DRUGS< NO POT< NO ALCOHOL. Well duh. But why then did the trauama specialist lead us to tell him to not smoke inside and to tell him when we had a function to go to so he can have a heads up not to smoke and be sober. Now, the social worker asked for trauma spec. phone and email, guess I have gotten him in trouble and us too. He has helped us so much in the past 6 months learning the trauma that our son has gone through and how to talk to him without threatening or making hm upset. It was working if ever so slowly. I do hope he doesn't quit working with us. But I do hope we dont get or give off mixed messages anymore. sighhhhhhhh. i feel so bad. I all along did not want son using at ALL, not in moderation or anything and here we are. He may be coming home this week, so we get to try it all over again. Oh and they took a couple of his new medications away for anxiety and depression that he was put on when he got out couple of months ago, so he was just chomping at the bit when we went to visit him this past weekend. sighhhhhh. To many variables. [/QUOTE]
