[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 739467, member: 15032"] Penny: It's not you. We all think it's something WE did. We have two older sons that both went through the divorce of their parents (both hubby and I were married before) and they NEVER acted out like this or got "addicted" to anything. They are both awesome!! Our son together that has [I]had it made[/I] [I]in the shade[/I] is our Difficult Child. There is addiction in the genes on both sides of our family. But I think it's in the genes on both sides of MOST families!! Do not be embarrassed. We have all ENABLED. We are all WEAK. I refuse to be shamed anymore by all of this. I REFUSE. I have disliked, maybe even hated, my son many times since he turned 15. He has been awful to us. His GOD was being high, drugs, whatever you want to call it. I honestly thought at one time he was possessed. I do think the Devil was fighting for his soul. May sound far fetched to some, but I will always believe that. MY best advice is to take care of yourself. For me, I found working with a therapist that specializes in addiction helped me tremendously. And this site of course. She helped me establish firm boundaries for my son. He was not that little boy anymore. He was doing some serious damage to my heart. It has been a long and horrendous journey. Without my faith I would not have made it this far. [/QUOTE]
