[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675809, member: 19522"] Hi Colleen, I am so glad that you had this opportunity to see this side of your son, again, this past week. It is hard when our young adults go into this downward spiral with drug use. Especially when they have been sweet, gentle souls most of their lives. It is tough Colleen, but we really do not have a say in what our kids are doing as adults. There is something definitely going on with your son, his drastic changes, the depression. Maybe since he has had this chance to be with the family, you can sit with him and see if he is open to getting help? All of this does not make any sense. It is no wonder you are so confused. Colleen, it is good you are here, getting this out. You are not rambling, you are venting, this stuff is so puzzling, so very troubling and vexing. Let it all out, it is not good to have it pent up inside of you. We understand where you are at with this. I was on the same wave length when my two were on this spiral. We love our children and we want the best for them. When they are past 18, so much of that has to come from them, they have to want the best for themselves. There is so much to get into in college. My friends son went on a partying binge his freshman year, she found out and yanked him. I hear a lot of similar stories. There are so many drugs available..... Drug use is fast and scary. It depends too, on what he has used. Some drugs cause severe depression with withdrawal. Depends on what son has dabbled with......my eldest was a sweet kid too, she will still not admit to using....even though we know, her sister and friends have told us....we found evidence...she has changed so much. It is sad, such a loss. I wish I would have seen it coming, but then, what could I do? She is an adult making her own choices? I gave her to God and pray she wakes up. It is a rough roller coaster ride. I am glad you have had a reprieve during this trip. Hoping the best for you and yours dear. Keep posting and let us know how you and son are doing. It will be okay. You are not alone. ((( hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
