[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 683718, member: 19887"] I read this entire thread.... Whew.... As a very new member I just want to say how very thankful I am for this board. I remember the first night I found you all, one of my many sleepless nights, googling " drugs and teens" getting mostly scary statistics, then just searching for any advice.... And finding this place.... I lurked at first, reading the substance abuse board, where I still spend most of my time, but also PE, and sometimes others.... My first post was immediately answered and I felt a wave of relief wash over me... There was kindness ( leafy) and compassion, as well as advise.... I cried.... Someone understood I wasn't a bad parent, I was a hurting parent..... I received much needed caring words, and you all have been a balm to my hurting heart ( a term I first heard here and completely resonated with ❤️) ..... So even though I didn't need you when my son was young, my need is real now, and I am so very grateful. By the way.... I am a very funny and playful person In real life, as I'm sure so many of you are.... I don't speak Portuguese but would have loved to meet Rauol Thank you again.... [/QUOTE]
