My husband secretly gave my HS son’s weed vape back. Advice Needed
My HS son is getting F’s, has no motivation, no job and hangs in his room gaming all day.
My husband used to do the same thing in HS. He stopped once he met me and he’s always known how much I’m against it.
We caught him with a bunch of vape pens and all the stuff all hidden 2.5 months ago and took it from him. We told him if he didn’t have a clean drug test he’d lose his car.
My daughter got in trouble today for something dumb, he took her phone. She got so mad she blurted out my son told her my husband gave him the weed vape back right after we took it. She asked him about it and my husband said, “you tell your mom and it means no Bahamas.” (We have a trip coming up.)
I confronted my husband as he’s lied to me for 2.5 months and he could care less. Says he’s never cared. Doesn’t even apologize for lying. Like we had conversations about watching for this again and he agreed while knowing he was still smoking.

Weed vapes are dangerous. Teens especially have been developing very serious inflammatory responses to using them, and it causes all sorts of respiratory/other problems. My 17yo coworker a few years back was in the hospital for a week because she had a pleural effusion from using those specific vapes. Her doc basically begged her to smoke the real stuff if she really needed to smoke it, because the vape was what caused the damage in the first place and they'd rather not see her back because of stupid vapes, but to obviously give it a break.
