[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 616955, member: 1967"] Diana, I promise you that you didn't do anything to cause this! One of the first things that was shared with me when I joined this board ten years ago was the saying, "You didn't cause this, you can't cure it, and you can't control it." The three C's helped me so much. Your son made the choice to start using drugs. You may never know the reason but unless you gave him the pills or stuck the needle in his arm it is not your fault. In my case, my daughter has mental health issues that caused her to self-medicate. She still has to take medications to help her stay stable. My other daughter is a high-achieving easy child. Unfortunately, I think my difficult child just got unlucky in the genetic gene pool as my husband's brother was bi-polar and an alcoholic. All you can do is stand firm and insist that he gets the help he drastically needs. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
