Hi boss, I read you post with real empathy as I feel similar to you. My son is just 17, started smoking weed about a year ago. I give him no money apart from money for food at college..he spends that on weed. He is at college but now has 43% attendance and is close to being kicked off the course after 18 months.

He lies, tells me he smokes to cope with anxiety and depression, I got him counselling, he refused to go, got him antidepressants but he says they do nothing. He has threatened suicide several times, bullies me loads, to the point on 3 occasions I have caved in and took him for weed i get so frightened when he is in a state, crying, punching walls etc. He tells me he feels we dont make him part if the family so its all my fault. I left his manipulative dad when he was 2yrs old, I have a partner who is ready to leave if this continues. I am heartbroken, my son is so clever and was such a confident lad till this started. I am at the point of getting really hard on him but it will kill me to do it ..I always want him to feel better but this cant go on

How are things now for you all?
