[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 680714, member: 19522"] For men, it is different. While this sounds harsh,and angered your son, I think your husband sharing his real feelings and concern is a good thing. It is honest. Who knows what might be a catalyst for our kids to wake up and smell the proverbial coffee. Perhaps your positivity, coupled with your husbands straight forwardness, might just be what will help trigger your son to long to find his purpose? I do think that our kids need to understand how all of this effects us. It does hurt us to see them struggle so. I think that is real and true, and it is okay for them to know this. This whole business with my two is one of the most painful things I have ever dealt with. I have had to try and put it out of my mind altogether, yet I am here posting, every day. It is a constant reminder to me, and I feel a need to keep writing it out, that's it write it out, or it all piles up inside. As I write this, LMS, it may be of little consolation to you, and I am sorry, but from where I stand with my two, it feels hopeful to me that your son is trying again. I know not of my eldest whereabouts, if she is still using, or what is going on with her. Still, Lovemyson, it must be so difficult to have your heartstrings pulled again, the ups and downs and sideways of it. I couldn't have written this any better. Forgive me please for sounding preachy, it is the same for me, I am writing to you, and myself as well. I am thinking of Viktor Frankl and his explanation of the spark humans have for finding purpose and meaning in our lives. It exists in all of us. I pray that your son find his way out of the grip of addiction. I pray all of our children find their way. Thank you for posting Lovemyson. I do find hope in your sons efforts and pray for the day when my two recognize the need for help and change. Yes, indeed, it truly is out of our control...... Keep the faith...
