Just got back from dinner with my nephew. He was stoned off his ass. He was not entirely coherent. I told him, it isn’t that I have a problem with all drug use period, it is that a 17 year old habitually using drugs means that he has a problem.
Like mother, like son. 🙁
Hmm. Even back when I pretty much did all I could get my hands on I would not have shown up fucked up to hang out with an aunt or other adult person. Nope. That’s what surprises me.
My advice, for which you have paid every cent it’s worth, is that if you see him again, you stick with the “I” statements.
“I don’t enjoy visiting you when you’re so stoned that you can’t talk to me,” makes the same point without telling him that he has a problem. (Which yes, he does, but that’s a different issue.)
Check the next post. It may be irrelevant.
