Hey.....hope you're hanging in there. I think whatever his punishment will be is punishment enough. I do hope they give him some consequences. My son was never punished enough by the powers that be and that's a problem. I wish they would have been harder on him. DO NOT rescue him.....we've done and now we're paying for it. Let him deal with whatever is coming his way. It will be the best thing for him in the long run. Trust me.....I'm on the other end of the spectrum here and really wish my son would have had to do something other than a drug/alcohol diversion program. It is not enough. Please keep me posted. Take care of yourself too through this.....don't ever forget to do that. I'll be thinking of you!

I’m With You
I have an 18-year-old who smokes pot, too. He's also an athlete and does okay in school. We have been through so many things with this kid.....cited for possession of pot on two occasions.....never arrested and has no record, but nothing seems to scare him. He tells me that he's just having fun his senior year, but I worry all the time about it. I'm in California and the medical marijuana facilities here are a joke...they make parenting almost impossible. I have done lots of soul searching on this particular subject and have come to the conclusion that most kids outgrow this phase of their life, or at least that's what I've been told. I'm still waiting. So, just know that you have lots of company in your misery at the moment. I'll say an extra prayer for you tonight. Hang in there!

Hello. I'm so sorry to hear about your son (I replied to your post in the discussion area). Blended families are so tough. Is there any way that you could see a family counselor for some of your issues?

My son is 18 and was arrested yesterday for possession of marijuanna. I have had a tough road with this child and have spent the majority of his life trying desprately to help him. He has low self esteem which I contribute to the emotional abuse of his stepfather that i chose for him and a father that i also chose that has been addicted to drugs for years. My son is a senior in high school, works hard on a dairy farm and has plans to go in to the Navy after graduating. I bailed him out of jail and went to court with him the next day. I also arranged for him to meet with a lawyer which he is responsible for paying in hopes that this doesn't set him back with his goals. He was ordered by the court to go to the hospital for periodic drug testing and understands the consequences if he fails. He will go to court next week to face the outcome. I am mentally exhausted. My husband maintains zero emotional relationship with my children. The only question he had was "So, what kind of punishment are you going to give him?" There was no support for me or my feelings either. His father is a drug addict so there is no help there either. I just don't know if i am helping him. He says he will not do drugs anymore and understand that he has to pass the drug screening but is that enough?
Close Family Issues
I have a blended family of 8. Three kids his and three mine. Three of the six are still at home. We have been married for eleven years. My husband is two different people. A Dad which I hate and a husband that I sometimes love. He is a horrible step dad.
