[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 705161, member: 19889"] hi Beyond Sad, so sorry for your loss! I don't think i would worry about him using marijuana. It is relatively safe as drugs go, and you can't stop him. Do you have any reason to think he would try harder drugs? What do you mean by "drug using" friends? Is there more here you haven't shared? I do think it is very normal for an 18 year old to be with his peer group more than his family. I worry that changing locks, dramatic stances, etc, might push him away. Calm down, stay in your own space. From what you have told me, he's doing ok. Does he have a job? He must be paying his own way, and has done so successfully for some time. Good for him! It is not always the best thing to go immediately to college after high school. You might want to look into grief counseling for yourself, and your son, if he is interested. [/QUOTE]
