[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 653896, member: 1"] Oh [USER=18848]@Rina[/USER], you are being way too hard on yourself. Your son's self destructive behavior is not at all your fault. You are doing the best you can to keep him safe and get him the help he needs. He isn't able to recognize that right now, but that doesn't mean that your good intentions and efforts are wasted. You are dealing with a boy that isn't functioning well for whatever reason. He may be self medicating because he's depressed or has some other mental health issues which are fueling his drug use. His choice to use drugs is his alone and has nothing to do with you or anything that you did or did not do. As far as his comments about you not being his "real" mother I can't imagine how much that must have hurt you. You opened your heart to this boy. He spun out and went on a bender and you had him tracked him down so you could get him into detox. Don't let his druggy words make you doubt yourself. Your love for him and your good intentions are very clear. [/QUOTE]
