[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 205491, member: 3305"] Hi Scooby, sorry I missed responding to you before. I have 2 sons and both have had sub abuse issues. My oldest, Josh, is the one that reminds me of your son: Athletic, good looking, mannerly, etc. He has always been the one considered a "master manipulator" so I get the...can look you in the eye and tell you he didn't do something and you have no way to ABsolutely prove it so your left...with maybe this nagging feeling. My oldest was Dxd with CD and also ADHD. He later got involved with Meth which lead him to Prison Rehab. He has been home about a year now and is no longer using Meth though he does drink on occasion now. So really, my oldests 2 drugs of choice were Cocaine and Meth. I think sometimes the rehab councelors/psychiatrists can see underlying disorders based on their "drug of choice". I'm probibly starting to sound like a broken record on some of my posts but I highly suggest you find the time to visit a local Al Anon meeting. You'll be amazed at how many families are going through the same ordeals...How many "good families", loving moms and dads, decent homes etc. I know when my sons use first became known to me I was in absolute shock and unfortunately took it very personally. I was angry and saddend that my "perfect picture" of a family was being destroyed. Really, when there is a drug user in the house, it's EVERYone's problem and everyone is likely gonna need some counceling some help to get through it. None of us "caused" our children to be drug users but we can or did perhaps unwittedly contribute...Al Anon helped me see this but also helped me find new ways to "correct" some of my thinking/behavior and become a healthier influence on my sons. As I said...we are not to blame but there are ways that are better than others when it comes to dealing with our drug using children...healthier ways. I'm glad you found us...You are not alone.
