[QUOTE="AJ's Mom, post: 699031, member: 20755"] Yes, 1905, the lie is like a punch in the heart. It makes me feel like a fool, I just can't figure out why, but I guess I will never know that. I am trying to go on with my life, but it is not easy. I know he did this to himself, I am not responsible for any of it. I do have other kids, my oldest I had similar problems with in the past, it took her a while and some time in prison, but she is okay now. Detaching from her was not as difficult. When she was using, she was a mean and awful person, a physical danger to the rest of the family. When I threw her out, it was a relief, the thing she had become wasn't my daughter. She thanked me years later, she said I had done the right thing. We are not close, and I don't think I can ever fully trust her again, forgiving is easy, forgetting is much harder, but we do have a civil relationship and are on friendly terms, but I never let my guard down around her for my own emotional sense of security. My son is different, his problems stem more from mental illness than drugs, and watching him going through this breaks my heart. He is so lost, and I've tried to point him in the right direction, but he just can't find his way. [/QUOTE]
