[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 559881, member: 1550"] Hi, and I'm sorry it has come to this. But why do you feel his bad choices as a young adult are your fault? Did you teach him to do drugs? I doubt it. He has made this decision on his own and it is obviously messing him up. But you didn't cause it. And you can't stop it because he is of legal age and there is only one person who can stop him: That is him. Could he maybe be manipulating you when he threatens to harm himself? For your own sake, I highly recommend joining N/A (narcotics anonymous) so that you can talk to other people in your boat. I had a daughter who got messed up in drugs too but she quit. But she WANTED to quit. You need to forget the guilt...you are doing more for him than he deserves. And you can't make him stop, but you don't have to enable him by giving him money and luxuries while he is living a life that could destroy him. Why make doing dangerous things easy for him? Keep us posted. We all care about what happens to you and your son. [/QUOTE]
