[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 641176, member: 17542"] Welcome, Cinder, just a short note right now to say, your story has SO many similar facts as my story with my son. Every single bit of what you describe could be drug addiction. In fact, he could still be using drugs and you don't even know it. It's amazing that time after time after time after the crisis happens yet again, parents here and elsewhere will say: And I just knew he had quit using, and then I found that _________. I was fooled once again. I will write more later. You are at at the right place, and it sounds like you are moving forward on a good path for yourself, and realizing a lot of things that will be helpful to you from here on out. All of the thoughts and advice you are getting from the experts---I say that sincerely---here on this board is invaluable. I hope you continue to read this site relentlessly. Every hour you spend on this site reading similar stories will move you forward exponentially in your own recovery. Another word of hope: Things can change. Always remember that. And the sooner we turn the laser focus away from our precious, precious difficult children and onto ourselves and our own lives, the sooner they have a true chance to start to change. We are often a huge obstacle to them in their own recovery. My son has been homeless five different times for months on end. I will write more about that to you later. Believe me, they can survive homeless and there are so many resources for homeless people. Being homeless is NOT the end of the world. I thought it was too, but it isn't. Warm hugs. More later. Hang in there. We are here with you. [/QUOTE]
