[QUOTE="luludean, post: 620290, member: 17686"] My two sons left. They are into synthetic marijuana and marijuana when they have money for it. They don't want to be responsible. The oldest is 23. He's a father, his daughter lives out of state. He doesn't even send money. He will feel guilty and try to change but then he drinks, or gets high, no motivation, depression and insecurity takes over. We, his parents, have been trying to help him since he was 17. Letting him stay at home, enabling him, now his 18 year old brother is the same. Anti-government, don't want to work. Train hopped for a while. Etc etc. finally a month ago they were upset that my husband would not drive them into town where they could buy their synthetic marijuana so they left. We sent them a text not to come home until they were drug free. A month now, I don't sleep well, I'm depressed, not to mention pre-menopausal and I have epilepsy and the hormones and stress induce seizures. If it were not for my anti seizure medication, I would be a bigger mess. I pray to God, I believe He is watching over my kids, but the hurt is so strong. I have one son, 15, at home and my husband who are also affected by this tragic situation. I just don't know how to deal anymore. It's too much. No parent ever looked at their tiny baby and imagined this is how it would turn out. What did we do wrong? Were we too nice? Spoiled them? Not strict enough? Did we, hubby and wife, fight too much in front of them? Did we work too much? [/QUOTE]
