[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 27871, member: 1514"] Barbara.... I know you remember my story but I will tell you again...lol. You say your son took drugs as a teen and that is why he is an addict. I say baloney. I took tons of drugs as a teen and I am not an addict. AND I AM BIPOLAR! I should be self medicating. I wasnt diagnosed for years which should have led me to self medicating and it didnt. I used pot, alcohol, pills, and acid when I was a teen but then when I found out I was going to be a mom I grew up. I knew that was a thing of the past. My playtime was over and I had to be an adult now. Not only that but I realized that at 18 I could get busted and do big girl jail...I didnt like that idea much. I had a bit more self preservation than most of our difficult child's. I didnt become an addict because of my teen years. I was stupid...yes....but it didnt lead to a lifelong addiction. His problems arent your fault. He could have partied when young and decided to grow up and get on with his life. Most do. [/QUOTE]
