[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727131, member: 1550"] Aw, hon. You are no different than all of us when we first came here. Yes me too. I bought everything my daughter said about how she was only using pot, how she was "holding it for a friend", how she quit (yeah, suuuuuure) and blah blah blah. It was worse with Bart. Looking back he is much better than he was. We get along now, but he was scary once, holed up in his room, door locked, threatening, porn on computer etc. It took forever before he finally left and that was to hotels until Dad moved up to area to take him in. I took him meals at the hotel all the time. He wasn't a drug addict or user, just....I am not sure. Difficult and had mental illness. It is not easy to do this. It is a learning curve. Do not feel bad. That is not my purpose. If we were not all softhearted we would have been able to toss our kids out of our lives with no thoughts or guilt. My mom did it to me.... I just hope you get real time help for this journey. That helps many of us on this ugly trip. I still stand by no cash. He will get into illegal stuff whether or not you give him cash. My daughter was lucky she never got arrested. Drugs are expensive and what drug addicts use our money for. Buy the item, don't give cash. They sell computers, phones even cars for drugs then claim they were stolen. An old drug trick. Beware. Buy him a bus pass. Love and hugs [/QUOTE]
