[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 686273, member: 19887"] Yes... This is it exactly. We are sacrificing our home and our marriage. Tonight I just felt so sad. Both boys are now on academic probation at university. We spent thousands of dollars, that we worked so hard for, and they both have nothing to show for it. Our whole house feels sad. It was never like this before. When the boys were younger, we had a fairly normal, happy life. Busy, but happy. I sometimes feel like my older sons drug use stole so much from us. All of us. I'm hopeful younger son can find his way out of his academic mess. Older son I don't know what to think anymore. This is the fourth time now he had dropped out or failed. He was such a strong student in high school and even his first year. Drugs have robbed him, and he isn't the same person. I hope he can find a way to be happy, or at least content. When I mentioned his younger brother failed two courses, he said " that's my fault too...." He is quite sensitive. Husband said he is only responsible for his own, and younger son is responsible all on his own too. Now it's time for us to start taking care of ourselves and our marriage. So exhausted. [/QUOTE]
