[QUOTE="Bun, post: 731394, member: 22989"] Thank you both. Sorry the comment on 'every one does it' was at the smoking weed. Regarding the money - and bear in mind that this is a small amount of cash occasionally - I know that's irrelevant but it makes me feel better! We by no means agree with him doing this. I want him to hit rock bottom education wise not life in general - we would rather have him at home to know he is safe and try to guide him in the right direction. He is like a child - he left yesterday saying he was leaving home - I didn't engage. He came back 7ish then got up with morning and was trying to be sweet. I did search mood affects with marijuana and found an article which I am thinking of printing at work today and bringing back for him - how it affects your dopamine levels. Before he goes to college this morning I was thinking of saying I would like to talk with him after he gets back. I want him to seek professional help and stop obtaining money. A little bit of background - we moved here 8 years ago and have no family in this country. I grew up with arguments, confrontation and secrecy - I hate and avoid at all costs - we feel quite isolated and alone. I feel weak and don't know what to do for the best. Thanks [/QUOTE]
