Well, hey.
Just to let you know I have been through all of what you're going through and maybe more, (maybe not...) with our oldest son.
He has called because someone jumped him...(they didn't, it was GF's father)
Called because the Police were harassing him...(maybe, probably not)
cause his sorry a$$ was in jail.
for someone to post bond...(a zillion times)
cause he was lost. (can you say stoned)
cause someone stole the wheels off his car...(that's what you get for driving DUS)
cause he was sure his brother was an accidental pregnancy...(what sense does that make, and why?)
And more, much much more....
It's all crazy stuff, and the best thing WE can do for ourselves is to step far away from the drama. Go to meetings, get another good book...etc.
I thought for a very long time, my son was zonkers, certifiable insane, in fact, I was almost positive.
But, guess what? Now that he's sober...he QUITE sane..(maybe a residual amount of mental slowness,) but never the less sane!
Talk to him, but stay out of the madness...
(I know how hard that is...)
And Whoa, I wouldn't even WANT to think about inhaling poisonous weed, it's poison enough as it is!
hugs,

You crack me up.
I took him to meet his dad on my way to work this morning.
We talked about all the craziness that comes with drug addiction and the recent deaths in the news. Killing, kidknappings, ect. We both were wondering what this world is comin' to?
Anyway, he said that maybe Monday, he'd have his (old lady. lol)gf take him to the clinic out in the boonies and maybe see if he could get on medication. He used to take paxil from our family doctor, but once he got heavy into using, he just stopped'em. Says that if a doctor doesn't give him something so he can stop smoking weed, he's gonna go to an emergency room and ask to talk to a psychiatrist so that he can get medicine that way. I don't know...
I told him to be careful in those hospital waiting rooms. People die there.
Anyway, I'm letting go for today. It's a process. I'm willin' if God's willin'. lol

He's a good looking guy, mom!!
Hang in there! We can't do anything about thier problems; we just pray and hope they do something about it themselves. For us mom, it's filling in the time with our own lives that we need to learn more of and take all those "moments" we can!

I missed you too and i'm sorry to hear your son is struggling. Damn, it would be so much easier if we could just get in their (our loved ones) brain and see what's unplugged!
Until then (if it ever happens in our life!) nothing you can do, unfortunately, except giving your support by telling him you're here for him -without implicating too much- (don't know if that makes sense)
Hope his new gf will help him through this but, most importantly, i hope he will help himself through it.
All my best to you & son,
xx
