[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 764063, member: 23742"] LMS, thank you so much for your kind message. And my deepest condolences on the death of your precious son. I have to be realistic and know that the same thing could happen to my son if he doesn’t get help. All of us who have drug-addicted kids have to live with that possibility. My daughter, who works with HIV patients, many of whom are drug-addicted, told me that fentanyl has made its way into meth now, as strange as that seems. This really increases the chance of an overdose. I swear, I think meth is the scourge of the earth! It totally ruins a person’s psyche and makes a loving person act in the most hateful ways imaginable. What hurts the most is that I know my son is really not capable of managing his life without some sort of guidance and assistance. Even if he didn’t do drugs. He is considered on the spectrum, and incredibly naive and immature. He probably needs to be on SSI (disability) but I don’t know if he would consider that. On my counselor’s advice, I suggested he go to the social security office and apply. But his paranoia won’t allow him to trust the government and I doubt if he will follow through. As parents, we know we have done everything that we possibly can to help our son, but each time he has sabotaged our efforts, one way or another. I pray that he will get help but I think he’ll have to hit rock bottom first. You’d think he already would have reached rock bottom after being kicked out of three homes, one transitional living center, three drug treatment facilities and with barely a friend left due to his drug affected behavior. And now, mom and dad are out of the picture as well. It’s just so sad. [/QUOTE]
