[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 615865, member: 1550"] I cautiously say I think he is using more drugs than just pot and that sadly you will discover that one day. Sounds like he gets a lot of money as an allowance. He can't get a part time job? I'm thinking that he sort of has entitlement problems. I was very naive about my daughter. I also thought she was just using pot. I never knew the extent of all she had done until she told me after she quit, although, as time went on, I had to face the facts that it was probably speed. Do you know his friends? Do you know if they use drugs? I can't shake the feeling that this is your son's problem. Daily pot use can be a problem too, by the way. Something is changing him and you just don't totally change your attitude at his age unless something has drastically changed in your life. Have you ransacked his room, checked his Facebook, read his cell phone? If you pay for these things, you have every right to breech his privacy if you are trying to find out what is going on so that you can try to help him. Not that it is easy to help a grown child. But at least you know best how to offer suggestions and to stop enabling. I sure wish you luck. This is not fun. [/QUOTE]
