[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=mermaidkitchen]Love him. Show him you love him. Ask him what he wants for his life. Help him reach those goals while holding your own boundaries (ie living in your home smoking weed is not a life goal that would work for you). At 17 he is pretty much in charge of his own destiny. At the same time, he may be "resting" before he is ready to launch into life. Give him some space to make these decisions. The weed use is almost definitely self medication for anxiety/depression and he may stuck in a weed rut. If you can talk to him calmly about his use and why he uses and how it may be affecting him, you might lay the groundwork for him to moderate his own behavior.[/quote]

Thanks! I’m trying this approach, I really am.   Think I’m just tired as been in the house together with few breaks per Covid since March!

OP, big hugs to you. I'm sure he has other qualities that you haven't listed that are positives. And it's really hard to see the forest through the trees sometimes. It's there, though.[/quote]
