Hi Linda,

Thank you for sharing. This is my first time on the forum, I’m so worried about my son. Like yours and others he has been using weed for a few years but it is out of control now. He is starting to get regular psychosis episodes. The only time to have a half normal conversation is when he’s been smoking, the coming down is awful, he gets abusive etc. He’s living far from home at college. He’s 23 and it’s got to the stage now where we think he needs to come home. I’m writing a letter to him after reading the advice on Adfam’s site to try to set boundaries before he comes home. I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing or will I frighten him away even more? I’m just thinking aloud here but if anyone can offer me advice I’d be very glad. I feel like he’s on the brink. He has kept going until now but he refuses to get help even though I’ve researched help local to where he is. I feel like I need to make it a condition of him coming home that he gets professional help. His Dad is going to visit him and see if he can convince him to come home but we are separated and I live alone and I’m quite scared of living with my son at the moment. Thanks to all who have posted here – it’s good to not feel so alone. I live in a small community where everyone knows everyone’s business and this is so hard to talk about
