Hello, my son is 18 and has been indulging in weed a lot lately and spending all HIS $$ on it. I'm trying to be understanding because I was a teen once as well, however, I know it could become a serious issue. My son was diagnosed with bipolar and he lives up to this in true fashion. Sometimes he says he's done with spending his $$ on it and realizes its a waste and he will stop and other times he doesn't have a care in the world and partakes in risky behavior. He will be attending community college in a few weeks and he is working but I find myself very stressed and on an emotional roller coaster. He has a history with depression and has even had mood swings and he's been "normal" for the past 9 months since he's been on medications. It didn't help that my step-son, who is 26, was living with us and had a negative influence on him as well. My son is not totally disrespectful but ever since he's turned 18, he has been trying us. I sometimes feel bad for him because of his history, he could not lead a normal teen life but now, he's testing the waters and I slowly feel myself losing control. Any words of wisdom
