[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 607431, member: 3305"] fun fam, I wish I knew the answer. We had our oldest difficult child in Kick drugs out of America program where he even met Chuck Norris at school...that was 6th grade. Sadly by 8th grade he was trying Cocaine and headed to Drug Rehab. We also made a point to talk about the hazards of drug use do to an Uncle that was in prison who used every time he got out and was sent back. We as a family visited this Uncle at a prison with our children...You would have thought that would have made an impact too. I also discussed the fact that I was essentially fatherless due to my own bio dad's alcoholism. In addition, my husbands mother died of her Alcoholism. We ate dinner at the table together and talked about the kids days at school, problems/solutions etc. Even had bible study at our house Friday nights for a number of years. We also had the kids in as many sports/extra curricular activities as possible: soccer, baseball, football, piano, private art lessons, gymnastics, cheerleading, etc. The only thing I can think of for you right now is to joing an Al Anon group...You do qualify since you have a loved one that is an addict. You can go and find out as much info as you can about prevention or even new communication techniques to use with your difficult child. I wish I had been an active member of AA Al Anon before my son's went off the deep end. I also wish their was a magic answer as to prevention of drug use. If any of us knew that answer...well needless to say there would be alot less misery in the world! LMS [/QUOTE]
