[QUOTE="MissJuneBug, post: 728348, member: 21628"] My son had it all. Even his therapist in his current Rehab program told us the other day she can’t believe the young man sitting in front of her now was once an honors student at a great honors college, lived in Russia for a semester, #1 in his fraternity, won scholarships, etc. Now he is in deep denial about his addiction, comes across as confused at times and is not able to verbalize his thoughts well. I sometimes picture God looking down at me and say “you got a little too confident there, my friend.” All I know is there [I]has to be[/I] a purpose to why we are all (parents and kids) on this journey, so far from where we expected to be. It’s not bad parenting, it’s not bad friends, it’s not that our kids are bad people. Maybe we are all being presented with an opportunity for personal growth that most people don’t achieve. Here’s hoping we find meaning in all this mess! :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
