[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655972, member: 17461"] As you read with us here, you will find that people who are abusing drugs blame those who love them most for the destruction the drug use has caused in their lives. They do this, every single time. What the drugs have done to his life has nothing to do with you. I am sorry this is happening to you, and to your family. I'm sorry, Madelyn, but your son has no business seeing his child in the condition he is in. I think, when we are in the deeps of it with drug use, we sort of cling to that parent identity as proof that we were decent once. It isn't anything to do with the child, I don't think. To you, or to me, it makes perfect sense that not seeing our child would just about do us in. If this were true of our addicted kids, [I]they would stop using.[/I] Demanding to see the children they refuse to parent in any other way is a manipulation. You are here with us, now. It will get more understandable, now. We have been where you are. I am so sorry for the pain of it. Cedar [/QUOTE]
