[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 717863, member: 21895"] I am so sorry you find yourself here and pleased at the same time that you found us. We have a 17 year old son who began much the same way as you are describing with your son. We both thought it was phase and that it would pass. It did not. It is impossible to know who addiction will grasp and who it will not. Do know the statistics are 1 In 5 will become addicted and there are many contributing factors and sometimes none. Mothers often are more connected to the changes of their children not always but most times. We all react differently. We almost lost a 30 year marriage going down the addiction rabbit hole with my son. My advise is to not throw caution to the wind don't take a back seat to this. You can not exhaust your self. Therapy and 12 step meetings to support family of those addicted are not a bad start. If it is all for not and you skate past this as a phase. Awesome. If not you are laying the foundations for the struggle of the hart only people close to add its or parents of addicts can fathom. I say prepare we didn't and again we never saw it coming and never thought it could happen to us. Not out joyous lovely well asjustes beautiful boy. It has. This sight and the people here are a God Send of advice. I am in admiration and awe of some members who have been here through 2 generations of addiction. First their children and now their grandchildren either as care givers or seeing addiction rear its ugly head again. Know you have support and advice here. No judgment and good compassionate hearts.
