[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 640843, member: 17720"] My difficult child was an extremely thoughtful child, and he was very loved by family and friends for those qualities. When he started using (cough syrup at age 13, escalating to anything he can get his hands on now) it was pretty much instant jerk. I have often wondered if he didn't start using because there was part of him that was tired of being the thoughtful one, the one you call to help, etc. Being high and being a jerk as a result allowed him to take that load off. Then, as you said, the shame for the jerkiness became its own reason for getting high. And now I think the high itself is the reason. I think it's a hellish existence, whether it's looking for the next high or coming off of the high and facing what his life has become. [/QUOTE]
