[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 626394, member: 17461"] Excellent points. Sometimes, we need someone else to say what we refuse to allow ourselves to think. Somewhere in the deepest heart of me, I do blame myself for the addictions. Bad genetics, or that I wasn't able to protect my children the way other parents must have been able to teach and protect theirs. Thank you, COM. Even now, even after all this time, I am not able to forgive myself for what happened to my kids. But you are right. While I did enable, and while it is true that I focused so single-heartedly on my kids...I am not solely responsible for their drug use or addictions. I still need to work on this part. I am slowly moving into a new place.... I like that. I can do that. When we can see where it is that we want to get to, we can focus on that place, on that set of feelings. Great post. Very helpful to me, COM. Cedar [/QUOTE]
