[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713513, member: 1550"] RN, you are reacting naturally. My daughter was like your son in many ways while using. She did not get mean or violant. She did not blame us or her childhood. She even worked and went to school on cocaine and meth. On the school front, in technical college, her friends were so worried about her coke use that they got together and told the Dean of the school where she was taking coke A LOT while doing her Cosmetology class. He called us saying her friends were worried about her and came to him. I had thought she quit. I didnt see it. Color me naive or stupid. Of course she was confronted. She told me in tears that the girls were all jealous of her (she was beautiful and other girls WERE jealous of her). She swore she was clean. I believed her and called the Dean back telling him what I believed (can you imagine how foolish he found me?) So she graduated with A's in all her classes yet she was heavily using cocaine AND meth! She told me all this AFTER she quit. In other words she put on a great performance and lied to my face, complete with tears. After she quit she told me she lied all the time then said "Never trust a drug addict. They lie All.the,time." Her words. We so want to believe they quit. RN,ypur son is just acting like my daughter did..trying to make you think the test is wrong. Just like my daughter convinced me that a group of her peers went to the Dean out of spite, when in fact it had been so caring of them. She was found at the pill party in our home and told to leave shortly after and I feared that she would end up in jail or dead. But our higher functioning addicts are tough and they can get over this. I believe your son will eventually stop. You are not enabling him. He has it tough. He cant come home.those are motivators for change. Hang tough. All that rehab strung together is sticking in some way. He is better than before. I get and know how angering the lying is though. Keep being good to yourself. Its ok that Son knows how you feel.it doesnt hurt for them to hear how hard this is for YOU Keep up the great work! [/QUOTE]
