[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675486, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm sorry about your son. When my daughter was eighteen I thought she'd end up in jail or prison, but she quit using drugs and is doing great eleven years later. I wish I could look into a crystal ball and tell you it will get better. He may. He may get better, but not live YOUR dream for him, but still find some sense of purpose. He may not get better. It is up to him, really.Each person chooses his own path and the path has many forks in the road and changes can and do happen. What kind of changes...nobody knows. I know how hard it is to live in limbo this way. My daughter started using drugs at twelve. Yes, twellve. We did not know nor did we know how she progressed to serious drug use. She hid it well. Can you give us a backstory on your son so we can maybe give more useful feedback? Is it drugs? Drugs make our dear children very different and ugly. I am so sorry you are sad on this Christmas Eve. Try to focus on your loved ones who are doing well and can appreciate your goodness and know that for now at least your son is in a safe place. Hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
