Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome: How can I help a family member?

Predictably the diagnosis lost any validity to my grandson and his mom and dad. They redefined and found other reasons so the answer is no. No follow-up at all. No further episodes to this point in time. I have no power in making choices in the life of my grandson. I love him and remain committed to his mental health. Throw in COVID, serious disconnects in home life and the challenges mount up. I will update in the near future. I believe he will get high if he has not already. I hate drugs and alcohol with a passion.

@anncgrl Hang in there. As you well know, it is brutal watching people destroy themselves with substances. I noticed you said you were in recovery. I am as well. I watched my partner essentially kill himself with alcohol. He was 55 years old. It is so frustrating and being on the other side of it makes it so hard as I could empathize with the addict in him and yet, I was the sober person, trying to get him to quit. Surrender is so hard. I hope you find some peace in all this and your grandson and his parents awaken to the reality of it as well. Keep us posted.

I can certainly understand your frustration. In spite of the love you have for your grandson, you must feel like your hands are tied. Denial is very powerful when people suffer from addiction.
I certainly wish you patience and endurance as you wait to see how your grandson does over the next few months. I look forward to your next update.
