[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 638825, member: 18284"] GM -- Thanks for your comments. Agree with you on weed not acceptable for coping. What am I going to do? I'm going to do what I need to do for MY health and happiness. I'm in charge of mine, and difficult child is in charge of his. I cannot change him (I tried...but, as we all know, it their true change has to be their true decision). If he claims weed is for medicinal purposes (which he does), then I suggested he see and be followed/monitored by a medical professional and abide by whatever the rx is. Of course, difficult child refused. Not angrily, just playing defense lawyer about it. He's free to play lawyer about it. And I'm free to leave the courtroom. So........like I wrote above, I'm returning to my original boundaries. difficult child is still in our life. But with some healthy space and boundaries. Compassion and hope are freebies. Trust is not. I always love him and root for him (he has many great qualities!). However, I do not always trust him. And, honestly, I must be authentic. I don't do "fake" very well and, honestly, I'm very glad for that. [/QUOTE]
