[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 675754, member: 19887"] I feel like I'm in a bubble this week. Older son has been wonderful, playing with his young cousins, being sweet and helpful with everything. How can it all go so well here and then when we get home, it all goes so wrong? He hasn't used in a week, and since we are not even in the same country he isn't texting or talking to his friends. He talks about going to university again after Xmas, and I don't know how he is paying... With drug money? How do I turn a blind eye to that? I want so bad to believe in him, he really is a smart and kind soul, I still can't beleive he has been a dealer... He was the kid no one would have expected to choose this. He always cared about others and has tons of empathy. When he was in grade nine we even volunteered together at the soup kitchen for a year. I feel like it makes no sense. I have always thought he was undiagnosed ADD, but since he had good grades and was never in trouble in school I figured he had it managed. I'm now wondering if that is why it falls apart for him now, without the structure school gave him. We always had him in sports too, and he was usually the captain and mvp of the team. I think not playing on teams has been a contributor to his depression... He needs to be active physically. We have tried to encourage him and even paid for new equipment ( he lost?? His original gear) and signed him up for an intremural team at the university. More money we have wasted.... He never goes. I know I'm rambling... I find my thoughts are so jumbled and do that. I wonder all the time at what point did he go from an all A student and athlete to a druggie??? It happened so fast and it's so scary. Sigh.... [/QUOTE]
