[QUOTE="buddy, post: 558278, member: 12886"] So interesting how your parents are in more denial than you. Im sure thats common (have had family members not fully appreciate the trouble cousins were in in my own family ) but with the focus of the board here being parents looking for support and answers it's a little new for me to see here. It makes me proud of you and I have no direct experience in your shoes with drugs but I chose to enter treatment for an eating disorder while in grad school. Huge risk. I did not ask my parents. I was dying. I suspect you may need to just do what you know is time to do and realize that while in therapy you can have professionals help you work through the parent issues. They don't get it. It's maybe too hard or they don't understand addiction. I hope you just do it. You will be able to return to school. I paid every cent of college and grad school myself. It is doable ...and it is a source of pride when I really needed it. Just one perspective. Hoping for the best for you! [/QUOTE]
