[QUOTE="startingfresh, post: 728497, member: 22380"] Sherydoc, I get it. I don't' know if we have done the right thing either. My son has been out for 2 weeks now. His lack of respect and pot smoking became more than we were willing to bear. I felt myself getting very lost in his bad choices and finally said he had to move out. It has been gut wrenching to say the least. And he has a place to stay so I am very aware it could be so much worse. I have no idea what is going on other than he has reached out to us a few times, telling us that he is not sleeping, is very sad, can't eat, and is sorry for all the pain he has put us through. He indicates he wants to change but insists on figuring it out himself. I am able to see his bank account and it does not seem like he is spending any money on weed. And that would explain things. Whenever, he comes out from the weed fog he gets like this. His boss even reached out to me, telling me he was very concerned about son's mental health and needs medication. That he has been skipping work, saying he is too depressed to come in. I am sick with worry, wondering if we are doing the right thing. One the one hand, it seems being on his own has forced him to feel his feelings and look at the mess he has created. Yet, he is not well. I am going to find him tonight and try to get him to see a doctor. Not that we haven't been down this road a million times. But what else can I do. On a positive note, I will say that when he was home living the cush life, he was not facing a thing. If he felt difficult emotions or something he didn't like, he would just get stoned. I continally am reminded that "nothing changes, if nothing changes. " [/QUOTE]
