[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 527151"] I don't accept or support the drug use either.... however I have accepted that his drug use IS his decision and his choice. It is not mine, will never be mine, and i can't do anything about it. To me drug use is not really a moral issue... there are plenty of people who smoke pot or drink and I have no problem or moral judgements about that. My sons drug use is a symptom of serious substance abuse issues as well as some underlying psychiatric issues and to survive he is going to eventually have to face those issues and get help for them.... When and how is his choice. However the lying and stealing (and Nancy these two issues were a problem WAY before the drug use) are moral issues and is where our values really differ. And yes it is hard for me to imagine that those values of his will change since they have always been there no matter how hard I tried to teach him differently. To me those things are just plain WRONG and I do make moral judgements about people who lie and steal. And yeah most of the times these days I don't like my son very much. I love him very much but I don't like who he has become. TL [/QUOTE]
