[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 279623, member: 3305"] Oh Tracy, Just wanted to reach out and give you a hug...(((((((((((LMS to Tracy)))))))))))) You didn't cause your son to be a drug addict...we all make mistakes as parents. In hindsight things we would do differently. But look at kids like easy child's in a family with a difficult child. Why does one choose drugs and the other doesn't? It's a combination probibly of so many things that really won't solve the problem, now. Ya know. But, It's not your fault... Addicts...I mean they just get hooked. What doesn't make a easy child feel good on drugs will send a difficult child addict into elation...they just have a totally differnet response to drugs. Will say a prayer that your son wakes up soon. It has to be so hard to see him looking so strung out. I have been there done that with my oldest difficult child who used to be hooked on Meth. It was so scary...I was so convinced at one point that it would kill him...but he survived, learned some lessons the hard way. My oldest difficult child was turned in by my husband for theft of one of my husband's clients. Oldest difficult child was doing Meth and needed money. He stole computers right out of the clients office in the middle of the night. He had been working there with husband. husband did not go to see oldest difficult child for a year that oldest difficult child spent time in prison for this. Now...oldest difficult child is working for husband, they seem to have a new relationship and oldest difficult child no longer uses Meth...though he does still drink alcohol. Just wanted you to know I've seen/experienced some nightmarish days with my oldest difficult child...but things can/do change. During the time that my oldest difficult child was in Prison...I went to Al Anon. Cannot tell you how much they helped me, what a comfort so many there were to me. And many other good families like yours and mine that end up with a child addicted to a drug/drugs. Don't know if you watch the Oprah show...but I saw yesterday that today they will be talking about drug addiction in a family. They showed a picture of this beautiful little boy and asked if this looked like a drug addict. This little boy, now, what appears to be an older teen/young man, will be on the sho with his father. I think his drug of choice is Heroin too. You might want to watch this today. Just wanted to reach out to you and let you know I have experienced the horrors you describe with my beautiful, smart, witty, charming DRUG ADDICT oldest difficult child. There is hope..they can make it to the other side. Stay well, Hugs, Tammy [/QUOTE]
