This really blows. Last April I was 24 and my parents wanted me to talk to an LCSW (social worker-therapist). The counselor found that I had absolutely no psychological problems, and said he would meet with my parents to explain exactly that. We established that he would not talk about pot to my parents, owing to their extreme conservatism they would take it totally wrong and it would be counterproductive. I told the doctor that if they asked about pot, to just say that it was a part of my past, and I have a hold on it.
Instead, he told them I had a "severe mj problem," which doesn't even exist in the first place. This was a while ago and my relationship with my parents has been nearly completely dissolved, at least compared to what it used to be. Now if my parents believe me when I say I'm not a drug addict, they will only believe i am insane.
I tried to find a lawyer but most of them are only interested in physical injury. It's ridiculous; I feel totally victimized and all I really want is for the jack ass of a dr. to realize what he did.
I don't need any input really, just wanted to tell my bs story. Lesson is, if you don't want your parents to know your habits, don't tell anyone who might end up talking to them.
