[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621582, member: 17461"] It will help to post as you go through it, Strength. Whatever you decide to do, we will be right here for you. I know this is so hard, so scary. I know that angry, trapped feeling, the guilt for the parents no matter what happens. (Unless their child does come clean about the real nature of the problem he or she is coping with. Once that happens, once we know what the problem really is, we can take correct and appropriate action. Drug use is such a subtle thing in so many ways. We did not realize the extent of our son's addiction until his girlfriend brought him to us to confess because she was leaving him ~ over his drug use. Even at that time, when we should have held a hard line, husband just couldn't do it. He drove three hours one way twice weekly to bring food, pay fines, attend court dates. It didn't work. I think our son was in his mid-twenties at that time. husband and I were not on the same page. I had been here on the site and learned the true nature of the problem. husband just knew he could help, could turn things around for his only son. I don't know whether treatment would have worked for our son. I do know that was our one shot at getting him to agree to it. Cedar [/QUOTE]
