Picture this: a rebellious 13-year-old boy experiments with weed and his parents go ballistic.

Fast forward to today, and the now 20-year-old young man has a rocky relationship with his family. During a recent Easter gathering, his mom congratulates him on his success, attributing it to the rehab stint. But the son doesn’t see it that way.
