[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 725787, member: 15032"] Welcome Stepping aside does NOT mean that you do not love your son. It means that you love him so much you are going to get the hell out of his way and let him learn how to adult. From what you describe I would bet a million dollars that your son is doing a lot more than smoking weed. I do not believe that weed alone would cause someone to act like that. And remember that normally parents only know the tip of the iceberg. You should never allow your son to talk to you in an abusive manner. I have to say that my son never said cruel things to me during his addiction and I'm thankful for that. If he did it would have made it much easier to detach. Anger helps! There is so much great advice here that I will not attempt to rewrite it. Just read and you will grown in knowledge and strength. Most of us here are on the same road as you but at a different stop. The most important thing I can say to you is to take care of yourself and your marriage. This can be a very long road (I'm on year 7) and if you don't take care of yourself then nothing good will come from it and it won't help your son either! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
