My son (dan) and I are very close, he is a right chip off the old bloke. We enjoy the same things and are very keen gardeners. He moved out into a new house a few months ago and was getting on fine. However a letter was posted through my door the other day but i dont know who from. All it said was 'you need to help dan, he has a terrible weed problem and im worried he might turn to charlie'. I was very concerned as i always taught him well with her gardening and explained how weeds should be taken straight out.
I went round to his house and his garden looked immaculate so i cant see how he has a weed problem, i couldnt find a single one. I have no idea who Charlie is, i asume he is a fellow gardener. I dont know why they would worry if he turned to him? Maybe hes a poor gardener and will make it worse?
As ive seen my sons garden should i take this letter as a wind up or ask him if he needs help, i know he wont like me interfering as he wants to 'make it on his own' What should i do?

His gardening is doing just fine!
Stop worrying....!
I'd be more worried if HARRY came to town!

I dont want to not take you seriously, but are we talking about gardening or drugs? Whoever left the letter must have been a close friend who wanted to help..but didn't want your son to be upset with them. That kind of note over garden weeds seems kind of over the top..of course I've never had a garden either. It sounds like you have a different situation..and I would talk to your son though..because it seems that someone else may know something you don't know.

if this is a real question, then i dont think the person who posted the letter was taklng about weed in regard to gardening, how old is your son? they might have been talking about weed as in drugs...and charlie could mean something more maybe coke or somehting, im not sure about the terminology, but i would seek some help and see if your son is okay, i dont think somebody would be that concerned about weed ( grass, and gardening issies) as to post a note to someones parents, good luck

Most people would not write a serious letter like that for no reason. Just because he is on weed does not mean he cannot carry out tasks, I personally know of a guy (my brother's friend) that takes weed during work every day oh! and my own brother takes it and my mother is under the illusion he has stopped. Confront your son about it and tell him you will not be angry but could he please be honest about it if so.

If your son does have a weed problem, they will not be found in the garden.
More likely, he will have a hidden stash of potted weeds hidden under the bed or in the shed, bringing them out to water them and talk to them as 'weedies' do.
Look for the signs next time your round - little heaps of soil on the carpet, any odd leaves poking out of the dustbin, large credit card receipts from garden centres (pots / compost etc)
If your fears are confirmed, there is only one thing for it - weedkiller therapy!

If you are that close, why not tell him you received an anonymous letter and want to discuss it with him. Show it to him. See if he can shed any light on who might have written it and what it means. This has nothing to do with ability to make it on his own. It's about people writing anonymous letters about him to his Dad. If you don't show it to him now, you might start to accumulate a lot more. When you discuss it with him, think innocently. Never accuse him. Be the humble enquirer. What does he think it means? WHo does he think wrote it? Does he know the handwriting? Has he just dumped a girlfriend who is trying to blacken him in your eyes. I think it's your duty to open the matter if only to get it closed down again fast.

Weed, charlie, gardening. You'e funny. And you've got a good wit and a LOT of time on your hands to think this stuff up.

If you didn't find any weeds, obviously this is a letter from someone who wants you to believe you did a poor job of raising a gardener.
Call your son and tell him how proud you are of him!

i don't know wether you are joking or that you sincerely dont know what weed is, weed is a drug that you smoke called marajuana and charlie, is a powdery drug called cocaine and is highly dangerous and addictive, you do need to help him NOW if this letter is true, go and talk to him, if you are close you will know that he is lying or telling the truth, if he is addicted to it now, this could really destroy your sons life. good luck

i'm afraid that you have the wrong end of the stick. cocaine and hemp are often refered to as charlie and weed, therfore the help that may be required is for drug abuse. i suggest you have a little talk with dan.
