[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 613059, member: 1721"] I agree. Our kids are not themselves on drugs. When we interact with them on any level, what we are really interacting with is the drug. Our son was an addict. Once we got that THAT was the problem, we could take steps to protect ourselves emotionally as well as physically and financially. This is an important piece. It isn't only that the drug is destroying our relationship to our child, our hopes for our child. The drugs are, literally, destroying the bodies, minds, and spirits of our children. I don't know how to fight it, other than to tell the addict, again and again, that he was raised better, that you expect him to stop, that you refuse to fund his self-destruction, that you love him too much to watch him destroy himself.
