[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 731115, member: 22547"] Welcome. My son will be 20 this month and has been smoking pot for a few years now. It has just recently begun to affect his life negatively I believe because he went from a casual smoker to a daily habit over the last year. He just got his license a year ago and bought his own car and that was just the freedom he needed to really do what he wants. I have done everything under the sun to stop it when he was a minor but now it’s a different ball game. My name is not attached to his vehicle in any way and we made him get his own insurance policy, if that car was in our name he would not be driving it. That is a privilege and a huge responsibility, but as I said he bought it and pays for anything having to do with it so it is out of our hands. I have not accepted that fact very easily and started attending al anon recently to help me cope, the total lack of control over other people’s actions mainly his had nearly driven me to a breakdown. Having been raised with addiction I struggle a lot with the idea that my children might go the same route even after all I have ever done to try to end the cycle. [/QUOTE]
