[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is he using besides marijuana?  What was the overdose?  He needs treatment.  Why are things declining at his mom's house?

Your DH needs to have a plan he's willing to work with his son to get him clean and on a path to independence.  I'd suggest a family counselor with someone with substance abuse issues.  Everyone goes to therapy, including his mom.[/quote]

As far as we know, only marijuana. There could be other psych issues as well.

One problem is that as an adult, he has given us no access to the psychologist he is seeing. We have been seeing a counselor. The crux is that neither parent is willing to implement any significant consequences, as they lead to upset and everything feels “better” when he is happier..

We did have an initial plan made with a therapist in the first days he was home. But, there has been no actual progress on his end. so,
I know my husband is getting edgy and wants to try it “his way” (reasoning with him and showing him support st home)

I don't understand this.  What drug did he overdose on?  [/quote]
