[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 678189, member: 19522"] Hi Miracle, I am so sorry for your need to be here, but you have come to the right place. So many folks here, are in similar situations as yours. Welcome. My Rain is 36, it is the same for her. Still denies it. But the evidence points otherwise. I am sorry Miracle, this is your grandchild. It is all so very hard, what we are dealing with. It is a shame what meth does to people. Meth does not care who it drug-napps. When I went to a therapist to get my head on straight after dealing with the issues of my two, she told me that I would be surprised at the amount of people hooked on meth. All levels of society are affected, Doctors, lawyers, judges, housewives. It is mind boggling. I guess it is an instant super human feeling, high at first. The chemical process that happens to the brain is horrible. The user needs more and more to feel the affect, then, needs it to just feel "normal". I have seen extreme changes in my daughters personality. She has replaced her family with her drug friends. It is sad. She does not want help. It sounds terrible, Miracle, but I have wished my Rain would go to jail. Right now, it seems it is the only way she will get clean. I understand your not paying his bond. I would not either. It just may be his chance to break free from the chains of meth. Of course he is mad at you. Too bad. I would think he is having a hard time of it, without meth. Have you gone on to any websites to learn about meth use? I have. My cousins daughter was on it for a long time. She is clean now, went to rehab about four times. She came and talked to me about it. She said the only thing that made her get clean was when her folks kicked her out and went no contact. She is thankful that they did that, because she thought she probably would not be alive, if they didn't. I think of this a lot. We try and try to intercede and help, but it does no good. What does work, is to let our kids reap the consequences of their choices. It is hard, but if we look at it this way, then not so hard. One thing I know for sure about my daughter, is that she constantly lies. We cannot believe anything she says. I think for your son, it may be the same, and I am sorry about this. Drug addicts will say anything to keep us running in circles, we end up so darn dizzy, we can't even think. Stay strong and focused, Miracle. It is a good thing your son is in jail. He has time to think. He has to think. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Writing out thoughts and sharing, has helped me to reaffirm my course and stand on firm ground. I pray that you will stay strong, and pray for your son to wake up from the grip of meth, and see his purpose and meaning. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
