This is worrying me stupid, and dont really have anyone to talk to so put myself at your mercy
Oldest son is 18, we live in a generally 'nice' area. He smokes dope as do most of his friends (which I dont condone). Yesterday afternoon he was down the park and had arranged to buy some weed from someone he knew slightly. DS realised the weed wasn't genuine so refused to buy it. He then bought some off another lad down there (hmmmm did I say nice area?? its full of drug deals in the park!) Anyway first lad comes back and threatens him, says he was just the middle man and he will get the dealer to come and get him. This dealer guy is known trouble maker. DS leaves park and comes home very worried.
He tells me about situation, after usual rant from me about why smoke this shit, and why deal with people like this, I realise he is very scared. This is a £20 deal!!! Peanuts. I did go back to the park with him and gave DS £20 to give to the boy just to get him off his back (probably foolishly) but he had gone. (There was a few of them thats why I went back with him)
I just dont know what, or if, I can do anything to help, DS didnt take the drugs just refused them. I have told him not to be on his own at all and he has a good group of mates, but with my mind going overtime, I am scared of him being beaten up - or worse.
He is scared of going out into the town at the moment.
Damn, parenting does not get easier as they get older.
The only positive thing is he said he wouldnt take anything ever again (not sure I believe him)
