[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 674698, member: 12856"] You sent him money. He promised to call you later that day. He did not call you. He did not call you because he may have used the money to buy more drugs. You did not cause this unless you forced him to take drugs. Your guilt is because you feel you were not a good enough parent or perhaps he witnessed your abuse at the hands of whoever. Perhaps he was a sickly child or subjected to other unpleasant things as a child. Many people live through horrendous childhoods, but do not become drug abusers. It is a choice. The cold reality of his situation is that you can't help him by bankrupting yourself or making things easier for him. If he is truly ill, he will get himself to a hospital even if he does not have any money. It sucks rocks and it hurts like hades and so many of us are living this nightmare and still trying to live a productive and peaceful ( if not exactly perfect) life. [/QUOTE]
