[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 705380, member: 17720"] Welcome, AtWitsEnd. Sorry you had to find us. Glad you did. I am so sorry for what you are going through. It is so sad and shocking how quickly they can lose sight of everything they valued, once drugs are involved. I believe, too, that smoking pot isn't what it was when we were their age. Kids seems to get much more ensnared than I ever remember anyone getting when I was their age. In many ways I could have written your post. I remember once my son (who had mentioned many, many times that he wanted to be an electrician) had an interview and test scheduled for an electrician journeyman's program. He didn't get up when his alarm went off, so I went upstairs to get him up and found a bong and a bag of pot sitting out in the middle of the floor, with him still high from sitting up and smoking late into the night. I think this is a very good sign. I hope he respects his grandma enough to keep toeing that line until he at least gets his diploma. And I think this is a really good approach to take. I wish I had done so much, much sooner, rather than wondering what *I* did wrong. Keep posting. We understand where you are coming from. [/QUOTE]
