[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 5 and 7. On the weekends sometimes we watch a movie as a family, sometimes we go on hikes together or to some place as a whole. Sometimes we split up--one parent takes a kid to a birthday party while the other goes to Barnes and Noble to look at books and get a treat at the cafe.  We exercise separately, usually while the kids watch TV.  I usually get some cooking done by myself or if the kids join me and he'll build Legos with my son.

There is no more than an hour or so a weekend that DH and I get to check out completely from the family on a regular basis. My kids are in bed by 8 so any vegging out and relaxing happens after that. My dh also doesn't have any vices--no drinking, smoking, football obsession, and neither do I, so we don't have to concede there.

Why can't he smoke weed after your kids go to bed? I think you need to ask yourself why he's escaping all of you. I also would wonder why he's content in dealing with his ADHD and panic attacks with a drug as opposed to seeing a psychiatrist. I don't care how much money he has, I would rather that money be spent on him actually addressing the root of his issues rather than putting a band aid on it.  I smoked a little in high school but my friends who smoked daily became completely stupid, they couldn't focus in school. Some who were college bound ended up not going because the weed ruled their life and took away their ability to think. That's my opinion and I do believe it kills brain cells and while I see that you are in defense of daily pot use, I'm guessing if you are reaching out here you aren't that happy about it.[/quote]

Thank you.

A psychiatrist would probably give him a prescription.

We had issues with anxiety, panic, and general scatterbrainedness from the day I met him.  They are demons that have dogged him his whole life.  The pot use--well, I don't know how I feel about that.  There are definite pros, and definite cons to it.

I wish there were a magic pill that deals with all of this.  Maybe there is, we will have to look into it.
