Hi Pixie,

I feel your pain – my husband is a cannabis addict, and smokes every day. I am at my wits end.

My brother had issues with mental health due to cannabis use too, so all I can advise is get him help as soon as you can, otherwise this problem will just get worse. My husband is 46 and I fear there isn’t anything I can do to help as he has serious emotional problems (probably due to his mum’s alcoholism and his family’s attitude towards emotions generally). He has a family who loves him and yet he just wants to spend all his free time getting stoned.

Don’t feel guilty about telling your son he can’t smoke in the house. Skunk is incredibly strong and dangerous for mental health – I had a boyfriend who’s Dad didn’t see the harm in him smoking and he ended up with full blown psychosis.

I wish I could offer more advice and help – all I can say is that my brother got better, he got help and support, that’s what your son needs.

Sending so much luck and good wishes your way,

Tina
