[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 662243, member: 17461"] Happened to us, too. Slow learners that we are? It happened to us, twice. It was son both times. Daughter did strange things? But she has never been disrespectful in those kinds of biting, nasty ways that seem typical of our kids once drugs are involved. So, here is a story: A new nurse's aide had come onto the floor. When she learned my last name? The most incredible, disbelieving expression came over her. So, I learned that she had been at that last party and it had been quite the talk, at the time. She described my house, my yard, and etc. And that happened years and years after that party. How are you handling it, applecori? Cedar The first party, we did all the usual things. The second party, D H made son leave. It was cigarette burns in the carpeting in our bedroom that made D H see red. He was infuriated at who might have been in our bed, tossing cigarettes onto the carpeted floor. The carpeting was white. I think D H suspects son. D H believed son was stealing from us, too. I never believed that one, either. Ahem. D H probably was right. I cannot put the pieces together; it could not be that my son would do any of this. So, into denial I go. That is why we have to stand up to this in the beginning. No denial allowed. I wish I had been stronger. I never believed any of what was happening. How strange. But that is a piece, I now believe, of why I continue to see my son especially as the child he was instead of as the man he is. I just can't bear to know what happened. All those terrible things did happen. Huh. [/QUOTE]
