[QUOTE="NotMyKidd, post: 610450, member: 2175"] Except for the prison part, your son could be my son. Mine is just a few months younger than yours, and has given me grief for the past 9 years. It was eerie reading your post, because so much of your son's behaviors and thought patterns are like my son's. And I have had a few of those "I'm in the hospital" calls, too. 50% of those hospital visits were caused by drug induced seizures, another 25% caused by injuries brought on by his anger, and 25% caused by fake injuries in order to obtain pain killers. And yes, sweetheart, I understand [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]vacillating between deep sadness and anger. I have been experiencing that every hour on the hour for the last 10 days ever since I found out he was using again. The saddest and most frustrating part for me is knowing it is likely never to end. I have read about people whose 30 plus, 40 plus, etc children are still worthless druggies, so I fear there is no end in sight. No, I don't fear it - I expect it. I am resigned to it. THAT'S what makes us sad. And like [/COLOR][I][COLOR=#000000]recoveringenabler [/COLOR][/I][COLOR=#000000]said, we know that, so we know we have to either keep letting it destroy us, or we have to let them go. Both options are devastating to even think about. I don't have any solutions for you, just wanted to let you know I KNOW what you are feeling.[/COLOR] [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
