Hi
Just read this post, so sorry for what you going through, fully understand the pain.
Please read:
My son 18 years old, the smartest people I ever known, won several awards in physics and chemistry and was invited to Cambridge at the age of 14, holds Surrey district 100 meter sprint since the age of 13 and was very talented footballer and rugby player and on top of that my best friend and the light in my eyes. He started the occasional cannabis use at 14 occasionally with his mates since he is very social and always pretended to be the man. Now he is 18, he is fully dependent on weed, he start in the morning then the last one before he goes to bed at midnight. He is shadow of the person he was: no friends, lost lots of weight, no interested in his future, neglected his studies and didn’t bother to study for his A levels, basically, he is not interested in anything. We barely talk since he gets very rude as soon as I mention weed. He stole large amount of money from me over the years. He has a record with the police as he was caught three time. On one night out he was found by police at 4am in the street beaten up with cut lips and smashed nose and was roped of his wallet, phone, cannabis and a very expensive jacket.
He use to get money to by weed from his mum as she ignore the fact that there is a problem and she think he will eventually comeback to his senses.
I clashed with him several times over smoking weed in his room and twice gone physical, although he mostly doesn’t smoke in the house but he still does if he gets drunk or if I go to bed early.
My son was and still
My heart beats but can’t stand looking at him anymore due to the pain caused by cannabis use and all the humiliation i been through from neighbour complaining to police to shouting to stealing to calling me names. I am shadow of the person I was, hardly socialise and constantly arguing with my wife because of him. Our life are upside down and happiness sucked away from our home.
Please advise
