[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 682176, member: 19838"] Her real problem occurs in trying to reconcile her upbringing with a raging, alchoholic father and a weak, depressed Mother. She stated that with her dad there would have been none of the foolish malarky of selling drugs - just couldn't have existed. She doesn't understand the 3 c's of addiction: didn't cause, can't control it, and can't cure it. Some of her musings are of a psychoanalysts nature and while probably all valid points of view, hurtful at some level to me. She also has done some tremendously generous and loving things, too, like evaluate my son for free before this last go round so he can be headed to prison with current diagnosis and recommendations of medications on the State formulary. You know you've exhausted all human and medical forms of help when she said, "Well we can just hope for a prison reformation." After my son had all of the testing and diagnosing and telling how he sold drugs and had guns, etc, he would hug her and say," I love you. Thanks for helping me out." I think deep down it is just extremely distressing and painful for most people to witness the pain of parenting a child like this. I mostly don't talk to anyone much about my son and his goings on, even my family. Some people in the community I know pray for him and love him and I always thank them for that. These people are the ones that give me such strength, too. That is why I find such strength here - only a parent who has walked our walk would even understand when some innocent remark places blame.
