Quite a change, Quite a reason! - 2007/04/17 09:29
My 14 year old used to be such a sweetheart when he was younger. He got A's and B's and he was well behaved. Now, he gets straight C's and is more obnoxious then I've ever seen him. I thought that was all, but I was definatley wrong. The other day, a few of his friends (that were girls) and his girlfriend came to my house when he wasn't home. They said that they can't keep it inside any longer. My son is a big skater, so I let him go to his favorite skate park mostly everyday. His friends told me that everytime he goes there, he smokes pot with his "gang". I've never seen any sign of it, so at first I didn't believe it. But then, one of the girls (his ex) told me then he called her a few times while he was stoned. She also told me that he said he had lost his virginity over summer of 06. Obviously, at that point, I was hysterically crying, and there's more! Another one of the friends had told me that a lot of days in class, he would sing some song with the line "smokin' on purple!" which, I guessed, means pot, and he'd pretend to smoke an invisible joint while he was singing. I didn't know what to do, but then his girlfriend said she thinks she might know the reason. She said that he tells her that when I'm not in the room or when I'm not home, my husband - his stepfather - would hit him. That is what I didn't understand. I never thought he would do anything like that! And I don't understand why my son wouldn't come to me and tell me. It's hard for me to talk to anyone ever since then, and I'm starting to get a bit frightened now when I go near my husband. I need to confront both my son and my husband, but I have no idea how! I don't want me or anyone else to get hurt, and I feel like a horrible mother for not being aware of what's going on in my sons life. What am I supposed to do?
