[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 662176, member: 17461"] I think it is the chaos that makes us lonely, that takes our energy and leaves us feeling separate. There is nothing quite like loving a child who is self-destructing. As you are here with us longer, you will read all the things we think about how, though we understand, of course we do, that our children are adults...we see them as toddlers, or as infants, or as the adolescents they were before the drug use began and they fell and we never saw them again. We are coming through very hard times, plymouthmom. Our friends and family who are fortunate never to have been in our shoes have no idea how to help us or our kids. We really are most alone. We really are lonely, because there is no one who understands where we have been or what we have been through. And always, they see our children as adults; we cannot help but see the child who was ours. We do understand, here on the site, plymothmom. That will help you. Just to know other moms and dads, decent people every one of us, people who dreamed and worked hard and loved our kids to distraction find ourselves in the same, forlorn place...that helped me to stop judging myself so harshly. I think it will help you, too. Others of us will be along, shortly. Cedar [/QUOTE]
