[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648158, member: 1550"] Consider that your son may be using more than just pot, maybe spice or other harder drugs that change your personality. Although pot does affect some people badly (I am one...makes me very paranoid...I tried it a few times then quit because it was really not good to me)...I have never heard of pot making somebody angry or threatening. We rarely know what our kids are using. That's just the way it is. We want to think it's just pot, but usually, if we get to this forum, it is far more than pot. Good for you for staying strong. The important part...giving him your car...you were strong about. Buying him a meal is no biggie. I did it. I can't say I would have driven to a friends house since my daughter's friends were bad news and she wasn't going to see them because of me. I couldn't stop her, but I didn't have to give her a lift. But you're doing really good for being new at this! You may want to consider not always answering his calls and texts. If he calls to ask how you're doing, that's a good thing. It almost never happens. It is usually them calling because they want something from us and if we don't deliver, they abuse us out the wazoo. I told my biggest abusers recently that if they abuse me I will no longer stay on the phone. I will hang up and not answer the phone again if they call for three days. It has been amazingly effective, but my kid in particular had to believe I'd really do it. [/QUOTE]
