[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 646294, member: 17461"] You did not raise him this way. Drug use changes our kids into people we would not even have coffee with, let alone live with...but we love them, and we don't know what to do, next. I am sorry this is happening. You have found a good, supportive place. We are all in different stages, but we are learning and healing and standing up and getting stronger here together. I am so glad you are here, too. The challenge and chaos that surround drug addicted children can destroy our marriages, our finances, and our health. Though it doesn't feel like it right now, there are ways for us to figure out how to handle both ourselves and our kids. A good place to start would be Recovering Enabler's post on detachment at the top of the Parent Emeritus site. Al Anon will be a life-saver for you and for your husband too, if he will go. If he refuses (mine does), please consider going alone. It will be a source of strength for you, and as you come to know the other parents, you will realize not only that you are not alone, but that just like you, they did not raise their kids to do the things they are doing either. It's the drug use that is destroying our children and our families. It was nothing you did or did not do, Rhonda. Welcome. I am glad you found us. Others of us will be along, soon. Cedar [/QUOTE]
