[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 217316, member: 6271"] Hello...I am so sorry to hear how frightening this all is and I hope you find solace here over time. My son is not having the drug issues and so forth, but what I am seeing in the 16+ years where there are already issues the preasure on parents is overwhelming. Frankly, I feel that part of the larger issue for teens is that we lack a participatory attitude toward the lives of our teens. They are especially at odds with the economy now and all the lack of work for everyone is especially a challenge for the youth. That is what, ultimately, an adult has to take up. When there are obvoiusly unmet needs such as I feel huffing and so forth does suggest getting the ball rolling toward matching those is clear and urgent. I hope that you are seeking as much help for your own sanity and learning about what can be done. I am so unhappy with the way that teens are vunerable and have access to such damaging substances and that as a general society we are as yet not ready to met the needs in this age group better. I think that when we feel that we do not like our children it is the worst feeling. It hurts so much that someone that does mean much to us is acting badly and can not seem to make any worthwhile efforts. Hopefully you will be able to set limits and that you will receive the psyc input if this reflects an as yet undetected condition. Meanwhile be ready to take on the journey from here and eventually see it through to a better time. [/QUOTE]
