[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 742193, member: 23103"] ok.. I am catching up. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and pot..do a little research int hat area. after hearing about that I have to do some myself--my son says he isn't using and drugs at all now. I (think) I believe him, only becasue last time I saw him he was acting, talking like my son pre-pot. Maybe if you can give him the coordination in print (so he doesn't think we are making it up) about pot causing more damage to someone who has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) , maybe, just maybe he will try cutting back to stopping. He doesn't sound like a dummy, just head strong and wants to do what HE wants to do. As for the rent going into a savings account.. well.. how about part into a grocery gift card and part into a savings account? I wouldn't try to cut it down to the point he can't buy pot. Why? because i would rather he buy it, smoke it in his own place and not be hanging with questionable people to get a hit. I KNOW you hate it and want it over BUT that is our age group, we don't want them doing drug period. I can read that you are struggling wanting to have more control than you really should of someone his age. Trust me I get it. I would love to control what my ds is doing. BUT guess what.. the less I try to control it seems like the better he is doing. When mine broke his phone that was on my plan he asked me if we had a free upgrade he could use. I said no. He would have to get his own plan. I did go to the store with him, bought him the phone, he bought the activation card. he is now in charge of it. I can't log into our account and see who he is texting to and if he is even active. It is good for me, I used to check, and when he didn't answer a text from me I would log in and check to see if he was answering other people. If he wasn't I would worry (if he in jail?

Now I don't have the capability and if he doesn't answer me I don't worry about it BUT when he texts me and wants something I don't answer him either (games) That went on for a month.
