[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638158, member: 1550"] When my daughter used drugs, there was no synthetic pot. I could be wrong about this, Jab, but I believe it is very dangerous. Again, I emphasize, I could be wrong. I don't know for sure what your son is using any more than you do, but he has a lot of signs of drug abuse. Of course, I am one who does not think pot is harmless. Recreational pot use, like once a week, for some people is ok. They can still function at home, at work and manage to life within the law (barring the smoking of weed). Whatever your son is taking, it is important enough to him for him to steal from you, two people I'm sure he loves very much.Unless he has a brand new toy in his room or a new wardrobe or has started taking vacations, there is no other explanation except drugs as to where this money is going. I mean, I can't think of any...of course, I could be incorrect... My daughter used to steal a little at a time so that I'd think I was crazy. "Where did I put that $20????" "Honey, did you take some money for lunch? I thought I had twenty dollars in the drawer?" That sort of thing. But she sold drugs on the street. Her and friends stole their younger silbings ADHD drugs. They also bought over the counter drugs...they are hot now and the users find various ways to get high with them...don't ask me why. I never used them, have never been drunk in my life, tried pot about eight times with horrible results. So I know pot isn't good for everyone. I would never have had the guts to use synthetic pot, even one time. I agree that your son doesn't need to come and talk to you and that he will try to con and soft soap your wife. One thing we have to learn, if we want to detach from their drama and learn to go on with our own lives, while helping our grown children drop the Peter Pan Syndrome is to stop letting them talk us blue in the face. My daughter, while on drugs, could stare me straight in the eyes and lie. She is NOT a liar. She doesn't lie now. But she gave me some good advice after she quit. "Mom, never trust a drug user.

My daughter has no mental health diagnosis now nor any sign of it, but she acted bipolar as all get-go when she was using. She even put her hand through a window once...scared us all to death. My prayers are with you both. You are a strong couple. I think together you two can do this and help your son launch his life, however his path takes him.It's certainly not easy to do. [/QUOTE]
