not sure if right place as new to this site but just before xmas found out he was suicidal, got him to doc who sent us to cahms which we thought had been helping massively (turns out it was all due to bulling in ps which we hadn't realised was as bad until cahms told us)found out 3 mth ago ds was smoking cannabis, read up before we spoke to him, and Cahms have spoken to him too. guy there has been v supportive said we doing all the right things, ds promised us he would stop at least for 6 mth to see how he felt, found out last night he used again. (3 mnt in) I don't know if we are over reacting but dh thinks we should move, ds sitting highers this yr, don't know what to do for the best. anyone any fab ideas we could try please. desperate mum

I’m probably a bit dramatic as my brother was schizophrenic and I’m positive early cannabis use triggered or at least exacerbated it.
Can you afford/manage to get him away for a while? That’s what I’d want to do. Go somewhere completely different together.
