[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 716485, member: 19887"] I am so sorry.... I can't imagine ( or I can) how upset you and your husband must be right now. I don't have any great wisdom as we really don't have a clue if how we are handling our sons addiction is "the right way" but I do understand your pain and your feelings of total helplessness.... Even when I knew he was dealing ( and he probably still is) I decided to keep his phone. We tried that for a few months , he was living out at the time and I was losing so much sleep thinking he was dead or in trouble and couldn't get ahold of us... he also has depression/ anxiety and we have lost a friends son to suicide in the last few years... I was a wreck, couldn't sleep at all. That's when I decided to always pay his phone. I needed to be able to know he was at least alive. He usually will always respond and let me know. Something he said to me a few months back on the day I took him to detox was " how did I come from a home like this and turn out like this?" It's a question I ask almost daily.... how did it all go so wrong? I see others his age and younger doing so well, and it actually hurts my heart. He was here yesterday for supper and he looks so sad and so not healthy. I don't have any idea how much he is using. He could be in full blown addiction for all I know, or he could be suffering from severe depression..... I can't tell the difference anymore. I worry everyday is the day I get a visit from police. I pray for peace for you and your husband. This is a hell I would wish on no one... ever... [/QUOTE]
