Well things are calming down a bit on the home front. Thanks to all who prayed for my son and I suspect even me. We discovered my son has a genetic chemical imbalance. It runs in my father's family as well as in my wife's family. He can't process dopamine normally. And marijuana floods your brain with dopamine. Dopamine is basically a pleasure hormone we all have. You get it from eating a good meal, sex, listening to music you like and if you smoke MJ you get it in large doses! If you process it normally no big deal. Taking a walk, exercising, cleaning house, etc. are all healthy ways to burn dopamine. But for my son since he had such an overload his brain was dealing with it by fits of rage and extreme anger. Now two weeks later and a a couple of pills he's as normal as I've seen him in a few years. Stress levels are going down and hopefully so will m y weight and blood pressure.

I'm sorry you have had to deal with so much stress, but it sounds like you've gotten a diagnosis and a treatment plan that will provide more smooth sailing in the future.
