[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 685389, member: 19887"] I do think there is a lot to be said for connections. When someone is marginalized then drugs can become that thing that fills the void. However I also felt a bit like it was saying somehow my home contributed to my sons drug use. In that point I felt the choice was his. We have been loving parents. I do see the disconnection however, as my sons drug use is connected completely to his work/ school environment. When he was working at the elem school, and planning on going back to univ he was doing well. When he went back to university this fall, and it wasn't what he thought it would be and fell into a depression, dropped out, and the drug use increased again. He is now taking two courses, has plans and seems to be using less. We have all decided he would be happier in his own place. I think we would be happier too. Plans are for him to get a full time job and move out. Hoping it happens sooner than later. [/QUOTE]
