[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 722377, member: 21895"] Copa You insight into my son is heart warming. I am too close to the flames to see anything but disaster. Some day I hope that changes. Only children, a blessing and a curse. We do always blame ourselves first. I have learned so much from Gabor and his philosophies around addiction. Our vulnerability as parents makes us defensive. And I worked through that emotion over time. He had dedicated his last years of medicine to treat the untreated and uncared for street and boarder line housed addicts of the DTES of Vancouver, that is one of the largest colonies of Herion Addicts in the world. His colleagues thought he was mad. I do imagine that politics makes him an bad taste in the month for some. He is far left of left for some lol. He is a wise and kind soul who's research into addiction is truly ground breaking. The way he speaks so compassionately of his patients is a genuine heart so rarely seen in medicine. He is so very right, we are taught nothing of addiction in school. I was fortunate enough to be mentored by wise caring older nurses who taught me so much about dealing with all people with equal care and compassion. We harboured street dwelling people in our ER hallways before pop up shelters became common place in the winter. When one young resident complained of the smell and said we should turn them all out. He was invited by the staff MD to stand outside for 5 minutes for some fresh air. It was minus 40C out. That was a good learning moment for all of us. Years along now and a building that used to house the nuns associated with the hospital is an outpatient resource centre by day and a temporary overflow shelter for cold nights. We do evolve if we try. [/QUOTE]
