[quote=Anonymous]I’m so devastated as we’ve talked to him repeatedly about drugs and what they do to your body.  He was actually hospitalized for a few weeks ago with a severe migraine and I’m now wondering if this was the cause.

Long story short, His younger 13 year old brother outed him.  Apparently he has vaped in front of the 13 year old.  I was so angry, especially after learning he did it in front of my son.  I yelled and did not keep my cool.  I made him give me his vapes.  He said kids at his school do it, they even do it on the bathroom.

Full disclosure, we don’t live in the DC area.  We live out west in a very pro-drug city.  I guess what I’m saying is that drugs are legal here and kids have easy access if they want it badly.  I am not sure if it’s the same in the DC area but for me, it’s not good because his friends can easily get it and then give it to him.  He says the parents of one friend encourages him (not my son, the friend of my son) to sell drugs.  Not sure this is true but that’s what he told me.

I am shocked.  Thinking of moving overseas (we are citizens of another country) and my mind is scattered.  I have two younger kids and I don’t want them learning it’s acceptable.

I have a feeling everyone is going to tell me this is our new normal.  Is it?  God that’s awful.  A vaping 16 year old?  I cannot accept this.

Please tell me what I should do.  Any advice?  I’m feeling like such a failure as a parent.[/quote]
