[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 520217, member: 1233"] Addiction is a hard thing to overcome and I think most people go through a long time when they really don't want to get clean and sober. I am sorry, pv, that your son is lying to you and then talking to his friends about still using as soon as he gets out. The betrayal and lies must feel like a kick in the gut. Janet, we don't hate you and couldn't if we tried. I knew Cory smoked from things you said in the past. I figured it was because it is the only thing that helps him. I don't think it is a good thing for most people, but Cory isn't most people. He has tried every psychiatric medication that is known and NONE of them did anything but make his life worse. MJ helps him wiht some VERY serious problems and it has let him live a life with less pain than no treatment of any kind, it has allowed him to NOT constantly think of killing himself to get away from the pain, and it has not kept him from being a good son and father, to the point that he is able. So I don't think it is a problem other than the law might think it is. If what was needed was for Billy to give him urine, then, well, that it okay until the laws catch up with the reality that our modern drugs just are not very good for a lot of psychiatric problems. It is what it is. Period. Sadly there are FEW docs who will admit they don't know everything and that the medications they can rx won't work for everyone, or that some people jsut cannot tolerate their medications. Heck, pot has probably kept Cory from seeking out heroin for the pain, and in my opinion that is a GOOD thing. What Cory is doing is different than what Mandy or most difficult children are doing. in my opinion it is VERY different. [/QUOTE]
