[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 690920, member: 19887"] I'm so sorry for your struggles with your son. :( We too have given our boys every opportunity and support growing up. They both did well in school, played every sport, did volunteer work... Etc... But when oldest son started university and started doing drugs, it all went very wrong... We have lived through so many disappointments and shed so many tears. My heart hurts for you and your wife. My husband has said on more than one occasion he would not have had kids if he knew then what we know now.... How sad that makes me. It's like all the years of joy when they were younger are wiped out... I am glad that your marriage is more united. I could not have come out of this without my husband. We are taking a trip in a few weeks to rejuvenate and reconnect after a particularly difficult winter. Please find ways to connect with your wife. It is the light in my dark, knowing he is there for me. As a mother I often feel I failed and I know he feels this too. My oldest son recently moved out, and when I saw his apartment for the first time it smelled of pot. I was not surprised, but at least it's not my house anymore. Hang in there and keep posting. I know it's helped me to check in here regularly. [/QUOTE]
