[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704849, member: 1550"] I could never live with my difficult son. The thing is, like all difficult adult children, he can be nice and very funny. But he is controlling too and when he is angry, he is scary. I am trying to surround myself with positivity. I am different on the pot issue. I don't think it's worse than alcohol and that both can be abused. Nobody is allowed to smoke anything in my space. But I have one very functional adult kid who smokes recreationally. As long as it's not in my house and the person is functional, I don't care or need to know if my grown kids have pot in their system. Homelessness can light a fire those who can, but not those who truly cant. Not all people can self sustain. Neurologically challenged and the mentally ill often can not. I have learned not to cut off my nose to spite my face. I think in shades of gray. Fifty shades of gray haha (bad joke). If I had a disabled child who didn't work and smoked pot, I don't know that I'd send him or her out. I think I'd be more apt to help the adult find outside services because these services would be available even after I was no longer here. I have few moral stances where I can't see and respect the otherother side, except when it harms another such as murder, stealing, etc. We parents of adult kids who think outside the box need to decide whether to accept them or reject them. It is a personal decision. Everyone have a great day. Stay warm!! [/QUOTE]
