[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 712946, member: 19522"] Oh my Tanya, I am so sorry for all of this, the whole history of struggle with your son. These kids are definitely wired differently and take us on their hell-ride with them, until we [I]know [/I]better. You are a pillar of strength and a shining example for us all. Thank you for sharing, and for being YOU! YUP, that is what I get from my two. It is all my fault and they try to get me to give in to that idea, either by word, deed or sleight, or just plain no contact on their account (which I admit, is sometimes a respite). The thing is, maybe we could have been perfect in our parenting (which is impossible) and it would be a similar result? We could spend a lifetime thinking of all the variables, yet end up at the same place, these kids grow up, make their own choices, and live the consequences. My Rain is 38. It would be nice to see her own up as well, but I think we have both learned not to gauge our own lives on what our D c's do, or do not do. That has been an important part of my freedom from the chains that bound me for so many years. I have no control over what my adult children do. Of course there are times when I am sad over it all, but I have also learned to say a prayer and ask God to watch over my two and relieve the pain from my weary heart and mind. I totally get this Tanya. At least you know where he is. HAH! You were probably silently shouting YAY! NO MORE POT! I am sure there is something to the whole "medicinal value" of it, but I have watched so many young people go down the poop shoot because pot becomes their whole focus in life. Tornado included. Dazed and confused and partying. UGH. I know you will be fine dear, it is good that you shared. You are an example for me of how to deal with this ordeal, not let it rob you of your joy. I believe that is the best example and lesson we can give these adult kids of ours. Focus on living to our full potential, with joy and happiness. Thank you so much again, for sharing your story and strength. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
