[QUOTE="KFld, post: 89513, member: 2442"] First of all don't ever feel your story or crisis is any less then any others on this board. What you are going through is awful and you are reaching out here for help. This is a great place that you have come to. It sounds like you are doing everything right. You are long past the point of enabling and allowing your son to manipulate you. Good for you. That is a huge step that it took many of us here a long time to get too. My son is a recovering heroin addict. He is 20 years old and a little over one year clean, after about 2 years of pure nightmare. I was once one who would have brought him down to get him that drink to help him pass a drug test. It wasn't until I realized that I was harming him by trying to protect him, so much more then I was helping him, that I stopped doing things like that and let him hit bottom. My son never ran though, so that I cannot relate too. I'm sure he is scared and not even realizing or careing at this point how much worse he just made it for himself. I hope he turns up soon, or you figure out where he is and they can pick him up and get him the help he needs. He is still so young and there is still so much time for him to turn his life around. Welcome to our board. You will find many careing people here who have experienced much of what you are going through now. [/QUOTE]
