[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 629929, member: 1967"] Neither my husband or I have ever abused drugs or alcohol and yet our difficult child overdosed on heroin and almost died. She continues to struggle with substance abuse today despite being sent to the best rehabs and aftercare money could buy. Your past alcohol abuse did not create your son's problems. Yes, genetics can be a factor but your son chose to abuse drugs knowing that he could have that genetic tendency towards addiction. However, none of this matters now. Only your son can stop using drugs and your feeling guilty is not going to fix anything. Please find a community health center for you. There will probably be a waiting list but get on it. You need to take care of yourself. Also, support groups are free and can a great source of comfort and support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
