[quote=Anonymous]My son is 21 and a junior in college.  I’m looking for advice. He’s a heavy marijuana and vape user.  He has experimented with other drugs like Molly, but mainly around music festival type events.

He’s doing ok in school but puts in the bare minimum. He has a chronic disease that he doesn’t manage well and he had an accident in high school that definitely caused some trauma and maybe ptsd.

He has tried therapy but never stuck with it.  He refuses medication for depression and adhd. I’m really concerned for his future. I realize the main lever we have is financial but pulling him out of school doesn’t seem wise.

To add to it all there have been issues in my marriage that have impacted him, that we wish he didn’t know, but he does, and it’s taking some time to repair his relationship with his father.

I’m looking for thoughtful advice.  Yes, of course we have regrets relating to our parenting, but at this juncture we are just trying to do the best we can to help him get on a better path.
