[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664388, member: 1550"] Laura, why are you taking so much of the responsibility for what he did? In reality, you did nothing wrong. Why give him fodder to start yelling at you that even YOU admitted you caused it. I would make t he letter shorter and more concise and emphasize that you love him but won't help him destroy himself. HE is destroying himself. You aren't. Unless you introduced him to drugs and criminals, you are not responsible for what a grown man does, not even your son, no matter how much he (and all of them) whine about how you made them sit in a corner when they were six years old or yelled at them for tracking muddy boots on your rug. That isn't why this manifested. It manifested because he wanted it to and they likes the way drugs make him feel and he's cool hanging with criminals. He just doesn't want to be caught and he wants you to save him when his "fun" is interrupted by the men and women in blue. To add injury to insult, he wants you to feel his pain and be guilty because YOU made him do it because you forced him to eat his vegetables. This is just my opinion. I hope it helps you, whatever you decide to do and hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
