[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 593322, member: 1721"] I'm so sorry this is happening to you, and to your son. Addiction is never pretty. Hard as it is, we all need to remember that hitting bottom is the only thing we know of, at least at this time, that will make a difference for our addicted loved ones. And they are our loved ones. Whatever they've done, however far from where we ever imagined they would be...we love them. We are all a little helpless, in the face of that. But loving them is not wrong. It is painful to see where their illness, their addictions, have taken them. Sometimes, it takes more courage than we have, just to look into their eyes. Suffering, hopeless child, however old he or she is, looking to us for wisdom, for some way out.... We need to be very strong, Payla. Barbara [/QUOTE]
