[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 64709, member: 1721"] Remember Coookie, who described this part as "sitting on her lips"? That is a good mothering skill to have. Cherish your heart, catwoman. Your son is still using. I am glad you know where he is, so glad he is alright ~ but he kept himself away for a reason. I always like to think my son keeps himself away to protect us from...from the situation. (I don't like to acknowledge what has happened to my son, or to husband and myself and the rest of our family because we lost a child to drugs, either.) Because that is how I look at it. We lost a child to drugs. When we hear from our son, when we see him...that isn't really him. We will not see our son again unless ~ we may never see him, I suppose. Take this slow, catwoman. Your son is telling you he is not who you think he is. When they do that, we need to hear what they say beneath their words. I know this sounds so nasty. I don't mean it to. We are vulnerable to our children, though. And we need to have our eyes open going in. You know I wish you well, always. And know that I wish every good thing for your son, who sounds so much like my son, too. Barbara [img]:crying:[/img] [/QUOTE]
