[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 552018, member: 3305"] Awww Kim, It's okay...You are not at fault. You are a good mom and your heart is in the right place. As DDD said...These are son's choices that are causing the problems. We get it. It's unfortunate the we are the one's often left carrying the guilt and shame when we are trying to lift them up and help plan and pave a better road for them. I understand. When my oldest difficult child was hooked on Meth and my husband kicked him out (took him to an AA meeting and dropped him off), I went and picked him up off the streets and brought him home. Even if all he could do was to stay in the car til I thought of something else. Cause my husband was SO incredibly angry...as my oldest had stolen around 10k in computer equip from a client oldest and husband worked for at the time. The computer equip was stolen to buy more Meth. It was a nightmare. Before I picked up oldest I could be found at 4 am screaming my son's name from the window up and down the street where he said he would be. I was frantic to "save" him...it was around 40 degrees outside, he was hungry and cold. Thankfully, oldest eventually let me take him to downtown police station and turn himself in...that too was a sobbing nightmare as I held his face in my hands and reassured him that I would be there for him through it all. And I was. Even to the point that That following year I had a psychotic breakdown after experiencing at least a yrs worth of panic attacks while my oldest was in prison rehab. All of the emotional aspects did me in. I am still paying the price today if you will as my health has not been the same since. But the medication I am on DOES work and keeps me fairly emotionally levelled out. I know right now you must be very anxious, upset, and worried for son. But one thing noted on another post is that our difficult child's are VERY RESOURCEFUL. They will often find a "friend" to stay with, be fed by, etc. Please keep us updated on how you are and what's going on with son. hugs and care, LMS [/QUOTE]
