[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675518, member: 19522"] Colleen, this is not so much [I]insight[/I], as it is hindsight, and part of the roller coaster I have gone through as well. I am still going through tough days, but the intensity of the feelings is getting less and less......I am so sorry for the pain of it for [I]all[/I] of us out there. How could you have stopped it? Regardless of how he earned it, it is [I]his money[/I].....I know what you are saying, not a good example for his younger brother.... So very true. This is good, both sons should know your rules and boundaries. I agree wholeheartedly. This is true, Colleen, I have also read a few times here, where adult D cs, have made bad choices driving, gotten into accidents, this affects parents, in every way, emotionally, [I]legally[/I]...... Be very careful. What you must know already, with the work that you do, is that drug users can be very manipulative, and conniving. We are not dealing with the person we think of as our child. Things change dramatically, when our kids are in the throes of drugs. They pull and tug at our heartstrings, to keep us enabling. I thought each time I took my two in, that they would change, but they slipped right back into their lifestyle and created havoc in our home. If I could do it all over again I would have done this..... I learned the heard way, that I am not equipped to deal with the challenges with my two. In the long run, Colleen, it is up to your son, and what he is willing to choose. I do hope that he comes round, and makes the choice to get help for his addiction. One thing many of us have found, is that our adult children have a harder time making changes, within our homes. Whatever the decision, we offer our support. It is your son, your choice, and folks are here to share their stories, guidance and suggestions, no matter what you choose. We are here to support each other on our journey. Keep posting, and let us know how you are doing. Take good care Have a Merry Christmas, may you find peace and comfort.... (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
