[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 728094, member: 19522"] Hi GS, I am so sorry for these recent events regarding your son. I can relate, as my eldest showed up a few times battered by her lowlife boyfriend. It was completely unnerving and devastating to see her like that. She ended up going right back to him. Sigh. Be very kind to yourself. It is a tough thing to see our loved ones personality changes, and to worry about the company they keep, and all the “what if’s” attached to the circumstances. No one judges here, I think sometimes replies feel like that when we are at our most vulnerable, and folks who have been there, done that are just being matter of fact as it relates to their own experience. We all have to do what we do and be able to look ourselves in the mirror. Drugs, how quickly they can get a hold of people and turn them into someone unrecognizable. I wonder the same for my two, if things will get better. They are on the hard stuff, meth, and I have seen the damage it does. Read enough stuff about it too. My niece was on it for quite some time. She is in recovery now and has turned her life around. When she was full blown into it, she did some pretty psychotic things. Her folks had no choice but to detach, they had her kids and CPS wouldn’t allow contact. She has told me that was the best thing for her, it forced her to change her ways. When I feel down about my two, I pray for them. It helps to ease my troubled heart and mind. I hope you can find some peace and respite from your sorrows. Please know that you are not alone. There is always hope. I will not let go of that. Praying for a miracle for us, and our beloveds. May they leave this nonsensical world of drugs and find their true potential. May we find our peace no matter what the future holds for them. That is my mission and I feel it is to honor the potential that my two have, to not go down the rabbit hole along with them. Keep on keeping on GS, keep building your toolbox and take things one day at a time. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
