[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mom has a medical marijuana card and I think both parents are alcoholics. The kid is in my son’s friend group and often supplies the kids with drugs and alcohol; that his parents give him freely. Yes that’s a whole other issue I am trying to address.

But I am posting because [b]the kid is also depressed and possibly suicidal. I know this because I just kicked him out of my house for smelling like weed. and he is sitting on the front porch crying. [/b] I gave him a few resources including the Everymind text number here in MoCo.   Mobile Crisis Team number and 988.  But what else can I do?

The drugs have to stop because they aren’t helping. But I feel the kid is doomed if his parents are enabling him.  I just feel helpless. Way in over my head. [/quote]

Wow, OP, you are a HORRIBLE PERSON.

A child who you know, who is friends with your child, is struggling such that you believe he is suicidal and your response is to kick him out and give him a hotline to text?

How about NOT kicking him out and talking to him? How about not making the problem worse? You are not helpless. You are an adult. He is a child who is not being parented by his parents and is being coldly sent to cry on the porch by a potentially supportive adult.

I think you should look in the mirror and think about who you really want to be in this situation. [/quote]
