A bomb shell dropped on me
I am very close to my eighteen year old grandaughter, she tells me just about everything. Good or bad. I know from a previous conversation with her last week that she has tried weed. But today she told me she uses more often with friends. She said she sees it as the same as smoking tobacco. She says she will never use any other drugs. She knows her dad smokes weed as well. She said her mum doesnt care if she smokes it. She said she knows i am disapointed in her as is her grandfather. Well the more she talked the more devistated i feel. I feel that it is a slippery slope down a bad path, and she just doesnt get it what ever i say. She is worried that we will disown her, which wont hapen . I really dont know how to get through to her. I am disapointed in my daughters response to this. I know she has lived with her husband smoking weed for over twenty years. But i thought she would try and get through to her daughter. My granddaughter thinks she has it all under control, and its no big deal. She also has some mental health issues which she is not recieving treatment for. I guess i cant do any more than i am doing. But i worry about her welfare. I really dont know what else to do but keep the line of communication open dispite what i feel inside. Its been a big blow.
