[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 564115"] Welcome to the Cd board... definitely a place of caring, lots of experience and understanding. How recently has your son been smoking pot regularly? Has this behavior at home towards you been like this for a long time or is it fairly recent? I ask all this because my guess is that the pot smoking is part of the problem. While high on pot people can be pretty calm and relaxed but they can be pretty nasty when it is wearing off or has worn off. You might want to check out the substance abuse forum as many of us there have gone through similar things with our young adult children. I will also say it is incredibly difficult and painful to kick a kid out of the house and worry about them being homeless. I wont go into my whole story here (you can find it mostly on the SA forum) but my son has now been homeless for 3 months and has figured out how to survive and in fact is travelling around the country in the process. I have been through lots of sleepless nights over the last few years with all of his shenanigans... but I am coming to a place of peace at least some of the time... and in general i am no longer losing sleep over him. I have realized he has learned how to survive and whatever journey he is on is his journey not mine. I recommend you find a live parent support group of some kind. I have a wonderful parents alanon group I go to which has been realy helpful along with this board. So definitely whatever you do find support for yourself and you do have the right to live in peace in your own home, and it does not serve him in the long run to walk all over you and your husband.
