[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 689747, member: 20051"] No, you exactly said "he isn't the same as hard core drug addicts." Not that he is having trouble relating to middle aged men. 2 entirely different things. This is not the 1st post, just the 1st one that has bothered me to this extent, that I have read a definite attitude that your child "isn't one of them." You may not say it, but it comes across, and it probably comes across to him, too. We are all in pain and we all struggle and we have all done a lot of the same, stupid crap in the name of enabling and addiction. It is very hurtful to feel like our loved ones are being put down or marginalized for the exact same choices as others have made, especially in a forum which is supposed to be for support. Just from my point of view, if you want to feel as if your son is "not as bad" or not a "hardcore drug addict" because his drugs of choice are more socially acceptable or prescribed that is your choice and your opinion to have and make. However, it is very hurtful to hear, especially when you are struggling to live with this pain. [/QUOTE]
