[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 722507, member: 22313"] I admire your strength. Your post is so beautifully written and brought tears to my eyes. The culmination of so much has been lifted and sent to your son's higher power because you stood your ground. I pray for your son and your family. I hope one day I can get to where you are....I might not be able to ever. Standing up for myself and not giving in feels like taking the spoon from the starving infant's mouth at times becsuse mothers are wired to defend and protect their young. But we have to protect and love ourselves - duties lost in our efforts to keep the peace. It's odd how it develops so slowly...the giving up of our power. We have a right to take our power back and allow our kids to find theirs without hurting us. We deserve peace, not constant ups and downs and rages from tge drug use. I'm happy for you that you kept firm on your boundaries but I know you must feel strangely numb. Hope things begin to turn around for your son. [/QUOTE]
