[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 685269, member: 15766"] amiracle, I can SO relate to you! I too, am a nurse, and I think that by nature, we feel we should be able to help others, and even "make things better" for them, so living through this situation, where you not only CAN'T fix it but you really can't even TRY to fix it anymore, is just a nightmare. My son sounds so much like yours (but mine is the oldest of my three boys), from thinking there is nothing wrong with pot, to blaming me at times, and doing everything he knows how to do to make me feel guilty and HORRIBLE!! Right now I am in limbo, sort of. My son has been told he can't live here this summer when school is over (he's away at college), but I know we will come down to the wire, he will have no place to go, and somehow try to make this MY problem. But this time, I have told him I am done enabling him. He made his bed, and now has to lay in it. So come May, I may be writing a very similar post to yours. I totally support you! You ARE doing the right thing! You can doubt yourself all day long (as I know you probably do!), but the bottom line is that you can't change him, and you should not have to tolerate living with him. (okay, now please remember to remind me of this when it's my turn!). Hang in there. I am thinking of you! karen [/QUOTE]
