[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 70588, member: 3647"] To all you moms who have thrown an adult child out of the house, especially the ones whose kids are using drugs... A peek into my story: I abused drugs from an early age. I had my first kid when I was 19, not married, father nowhere to be found. When she was 6 months old, my mom took her from me because I was addicted to cocaine. I never got her back. I have lived in squalor. I have laid my head down on mattresses that had rats living in them. I slept in gang areas where I was the only anglo saxon there (the rest were Mexican, and spoke not a lick of English. I was out of MY element, there was NO question about it). I spent weeks living in a forest preserve, sleeping on a picnic bench. My mom tried EVERYTHING. She threatened, she begged, she pleaded, she cried, she whined, she ignored, she beat me...she did everything. I did not seek help until she stopped trying. She could have produced Moses and Noah. Would not have fazed me. I was not ready for help until I was ready for help. And not a second before. When I was ready, I got the help. And I am clean now. There is hope for ANYONE, yes, even your child. But you have got to let him/her find it for themselves. Detach, and pray. [/QUOTE]
