[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 648144, member: 18516"] You did great. So you bought him a meal and gave him ride. The important thing is you did not allow him to take your car. I know you realize he is only saying these things to get a reaction out of you. He is relying on your fear to kick in and give into his demands. What he isn't counting on is that [B]You are Stronger and Smarter than that.[/B] Good for you!! I understand how scary it is to think that he might break into some ones house and steal from them or steal a car. I've been there, my son has been to jail numerous times for theft. To be quite honest, there is a pretty good chance your son has already done this. My son once told me he has stolen many times but never got caught. There is also a good chance that your sons personality changes are not just from smoking pot. Another common trait of our difficult adult children. They lie about their actual drug use. My son for many years swore that he only smoked pot but truth; he was also drinking and doing LSD and other drugs. Let go of the fear. He is going to do what's he's going to do and you expending energy on fear will not change that. You need to focus all your energy on YOU and what will bring joy into your life. You are at the beginning of the journey to take your life back and the terrain is unfamiliar and rocky so you go slow until your footing is more solid. You will get through this. ((HUGS)) to you....... [/QUOTE]
