| I have a cousin who I used to be close with when we were younger and ever since he started smoking weed and our uncle passed away 2 years later he hasn't been the same person. Everytime I go to his house where he lives with his sister and mom and grandma he stays in his room located in the Basement and never comes up to say hi or anything, hes like ghost to us. This has been going on for about 8 years now and I've never seen him with a girlfriend, if he has one, its lasted less than a month, he never has anyone over his house and he his now 26 years old, this is very unhealthy in my opinion, what do you think is going on with him? I am very concerned that something bad might happen in the future and I want to stop it before its too late..he also never answers the phone if it rings, he doesnt talk much to us, my sister got married the other day and he never came to the wedding, hes just extremely anti-social. My grandma says that sometimes he barks at her if she asks him a question. |

| Something bad already happened and he's staying in the basement to avoid reality - I'd lay odds he was molested somewhere in there (and I'm not one to throw that around usually). You won't be able to help, he needs something more professional. |

| Tell his mom you are concerned about him. After that there is nothing you can do as she has first responsibility |

| He's a wake and bake. Intervention is tough, and maybe fruitless. You've got to want to be helped before you can be helped. If he just wants to blow dope all day and forget the world all you can do is let him know how you feel. He'll probably blow you off, but maybe not. There is little you can do for him except point out the obvious. If that don't sink in with him then he is destined to live this way until he realizes it's wasting his life. |

| I would say the death of your uncle probably traumatized him. Maybe now hes just scared to be hurt by another relative dying. So he pulls himself away from you guys to avoid being close and losing you and hurting. Maybe its not just weed hes on. Weed would get him to be chilled but to not to exactly behave the way you are saying. I would think its other drugs involved too.Since you 2 were so close have you tried talking to him? this should have happnede a long time ago , asking him whats going on if hes going to be okay and if hed like some company. invite him to the movies or something. or just over to your house for a drink or something. i doubt he would really want to go somewhere way social. But keep an eye out for glass pipes or pills or something. i really think his drug habit possibly goes farther than weed. Good luck, |
