[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 86209, member: 2389"] So sorry for your pain Mikey. I just want to share this to give you a glimmer of hope ~ I was your wife in the beginning of my son's drug use. My husband (stepdad)finally put his foot down and said enough it is time for him to go. I stood firm against him and said he would go before I let my son go. We arrived at the doorstep of divorce. Looking back I blamed his relationship, or lack of, with my son as the cause of my son's actions. I was wrong. I was putting the blame on him to take the blame off myself. Once I took a stand against my son and drew the line he jumped at the chance to cross it, this put the blame for anything that happened to him to be my fault for making him leave. MANY times I got the call that I didn't love him and this wouldn't be happening to him if I hadn't made him leave. Today, husband and I are closer than we have ever been. My son reached his bottom and has blessed my heart by thanking me for what I did and acknowledging that he understands why I did it and that it was in love for him that I stood against the wrong he was doing. Mikey never lose hope, this is a process. Each of us go thru it at different speeds. ((((HUGS))))) for you and your family Traci [/QUOTE]
