[QUOTE="Star*, post: 440518, member: 4964"] FH, I think EVERYTHING that you have done thus far? BRILLIANT! Seeking a counselor, standing firm on your rules, getting your son to go to a counselor AND detaching while NOT enabling!? BRAVO! It's tough to be hard and loving at the same time. In NO WAY - should drugs and alcohol EVER, EVER, EVER be minimalized in anyones life. Especially a kid/teen. You have not only the right, but a duty to make sure that everything you have worked for in your families lives to be safe STAY safe! Drugs are destructive, unforgiving, and dealers do not care how, what, or who they destroy in the process of making the almighty dollar. The interesting thing I found with my addict x was that most of the dealers he dealt with were not drug users at all. Very ironic. They all had nice homes, wonderful families, lovely children who were very well adjusted - and there was my family, falling apart and being beaten for drug money so my x could continue to get high. There was the dealers family running off in nice clothes, getting into a beautiful car, and going to the best schools. To this day I'm not able to forgive or forget. It is my sincerest hope that you have caught this problem in time, stopped his drinking by not giving him any support other than counseling, making him hurt where it counts (paying), and that someday he'll see what a phenominal thing his Mom and Dad have done FOR him and in spite of his behaviors. Keep us posted. I think your swift actions in this case make you quite the FALCON MOM! Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
