[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 611440, member: 1721"] This is something a therapist told me once. Maybe, it will help you to think of it this way too, stressbunny. Eyes on, very seriously indeed, the therapist leaned forward and said: "All the good things you ever taught her are in there, too. Wherever she goes, whatever she does, whoever she is with, those good things you taught her are in there, too." Could it be that your son needs to explore this other aspect of who he is before he comes back to who he was raised to be? Do you think it would help if you told him something like that? Something about understanding his need to explore who he is as he has done, but that exploring those issues can be a trap too, and that he must never forget who he really is? I don't know whether our son stopped using because of anything we said, but it wasn't until we got our own feet under us and started talking to him like he had been raised better than to do what he was doing that we saw any effort at positive change.
