[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 613004, member: 1550"] Well, my own experience has been that a drug user is a liar. That goes together. They want money to buy drugs and will make up sympathetic excuses to get you to give them cash, but it's best to go to the pharmacy with them and pick up the prescription which likely doesn't exist. Most of the cash we give will go to drugs and not for what they say it's for. My daughter, when using drugs, never told the truth and would lie staring me straight in the eyes. But that is my daughter on drugs. Once the drugs are gone, often the good person who is your REAL child comes back. My daughter doesn't lie anymore. She doesn't use drugs anymore either. It was not hard to figure out that she was a different person when her mind was poisoned by drugs. We have a close, warm, mother/daughter relationship now. It was easy to forgive her when she quit the drugs and became her old self again. Our kids are not themselves on drugs. As my daughter says about drug addicts/users: "They don't say anything that isn't a lie." But in my opinion if your son quits using drugs you will see the old person he really is inside, minus the drugs. If he doesn't, you are likely to continue this estrangement. I know my daughter used drugs early in her life (age 12) and quit early (19). I think it is easier if they quit when younger, although she used hard drugs. I hope your son can still turn it around. You never know!!! I hope he does for both your sakes. Keep The Faith!!!! [/QUOTE]
