[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 42213, member: 3353"] I have no advice, hearthope. Sometimes, there is nothing to say. I am glad you are seeing things honestly and calling what is happening what it is. For what it is worth, we devoted something like fifteen years of our lives to trying to motivate difficult child. And we never once believed it was his drug use. So hearthope, in a way, painful as this time is for you, be glad for yourself and your family that you DO see the root of the problem. Whatever the next fifteen years bring for you and yours, at least you will not spend them fixated (as husband and I did) on where we had gone wrong and how to help. You are exactly right, hearthope. Your son was raised to know better. And just like mine, he is choosing the path he is walking. And one day, he may choose to walk that other path you prepared him to take. And there is not a thing in the world wrong with calling that spade a spade. Barbara [/QUOTE]
