[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 606665, member: 1514"] On the topic of the drug use...oh I firmly believe it can cause havoc on a person if they have been doing them most of their lives. Now I dont think the drugs I did as a teen have any place in what is wrong with me because I had all the signs from very early on...long before I became a teen. I used drugs to fit in with someone. The kids who were good wanted nothing to do with me because they had already had their friends from early on and I came into a huge Junior HS right out of a small private school. The only people who really paid any attention to me were what we called the stoners. I had one very good friend who was in that group and she was my protector. For a long time she kept people away from me if they tried to get me to use drugs but it wasnt long before I joined them. Normally only with her though. She was my safety net. I also only used drugs for a few years during my HS days. Mostly pot and drinking. Now on the other hand we can look at Buck who has been using drugs...much harder drugs than I ever did...and he used them up until when he claimed he stopped the summer of 2011. Im not so sure I believe that but whatever. He is now 54 years old and has the mentality of a 12 year old. He never had kids, never had a long term relationship, doesnt know how to live by himself and cant do most of the things even young adults know how to do. He cant fill out paperwork or even go to someone to ask them for help. He just expects his siblings to take care of him as if he was still a small boy. I am convinced his drug use stopped him from being able to grow up. I dont know what he is going to do now because no one is willing to help him anymore. He may well end up in some type of rest home after this illness because I dont know why they are sending him to a rehab center coming out of the hospital. It cant be because he has pneumonia, they dont send people to rehab over that. It has to be either physical or mental. [/QUOTE]
