[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608079, member: 1550"] I have never had it that bad so I can't imagine your mommy pain, but do understand that he is an adult and his choice to use drugs, including heroin, were not your fault unless you held him down and injected it into his arm. In jail he will hopefully not have the ability to get as many drugs as he can on the outside. maybe he can even get help. Could turn out not being a bad thing as heroin is hard to kick if you have access to it. You are expending energy over this because, in spite of everything, you love your son. You are sad that he made such terrible choices in his life. You wish things were different, like all of us. But you did all you could have done and it didn't work. It's his turn now. As for other people, my response would be, "I really would rather not talk about it" and leave it at that. Anyone who prods you after that is just looking for a morbid fascination fix. Hold your head up. You did nothing wrong. easy child is younger and it may be harder for him, but it would probably help if he said something sort of in the same category. It is embarassing, I'm sure, but I read somewhere that people are very ADHD these days. Today's news fades fast and then the next big story hits and the drama junkies move on. You don't owe anybody anything. Hugs and wishing you a better day, one where you take good care of YOURSELF because you are worth it and you deserve a good life in spite of your son's bad choices.
