[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 553072, member: 1514"] Dash...that is why Im on this board and try to help people to understand their kids. Obviously mine are old enough for me to be long gone. I think I have a unique perspective as I feel I understand so many of these kids. I see myself in parts of lots of the kids. I did use drugs as a teen but that was in the 70's and I was just a follower and if I had found a different group to accept me I dont think I would have ever used them. That was just the group that took me in. As soon as I grew up, I quit drugs and became an adult. I had to, I had kids to take care of. There were no rehabs back then. I even knew I shouldnt be around the people I was around and begged my parents to send me to boarding school but they refused. That was a huge mistake on their part. I think I would be a different person today if they had. Oh heck if someone had just removed me from my family at any point in my life I would have had a fighting chance. I know everyone says you shouldnt keep looking back and blaming what is going on in your adult life with what happened in your childhood but when what happened then actually caused some of my issues, its hard. Oh well. Im trying hard. Helping others helps me. [/QUOTE]
