Well my son texted me last night after I stopped reading messages or answering my phone that he was sorry and came back home this morning. He's got serious medical issues and we had scheduled a meet and greet with a doctor here so he has a regular gp, can get referrals and a physical. He said yesterday he wouldn't go to this appointment but he turned up this morning in time to have breakfast and make it there. He's got a type of early onset glaucoma so if he doesn't have a lifelong habit of getting specialist care for it and taking medications or surgery if necessary he could go blind. It's a very serious long term consequence with no noticable short term effects... He's also got ADHD which may be contributing to some of his outbursts. I spent the whole session yesterday with my psychiatrist explaining how stressful it is to live with him. I said some things yesterday that I also regret. It wasn't anything hateful just supreme annoyance about his video game addiction and irresponsibility with working and cleaning up after himself. It was a rough night and I did break my abstinence by toking a few hits last night and this morning but I'm done and don't want anymore.

Anyway it is back to day 1 on my cannabis quit. I appreciate everyone's concern who posted here. it always cheers me up a bit to see responses to this thread. Thank you WC, TheSadGirl, Fharraige, downandlonely. I feel for others who have to deal with similar situation with loved ones. It's the video game addiction that is the toughest to deal with. it is literally consuming what could otherwise be a productive life.
