[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 744278, member: 22877"] He did introduce him to meth for the most part, because he had told me a few years ago that a friend persuaded him to try it and he did not like it and said he would never touch it again, which he didn't....until the ex came into the picture. I don't hold him accountable for my son's drug use but I do hold him accountable for leaving temptation laying around when my son first started expressing a desire to quit. My husband is a drinker, not a problem drinker but he could be considered a functioning alcoholic. It is what it is and it doesn't interfere with his ability to go to work every day (he has been at the same job since he was 20 and he's now 62) nor does it cause any drama and friction at home. But what kind of wife would I be if he decided he needed or wanted to quit and I made sure the fridge was continually stocked with his favorite beer, or worse, sat in the living room with him sipping a cocktail right under his nose? It would be entirely his choice to give in to that temptation but it would also be on me because I made it too easy for him to give in. So yes while the bulk of responsibility lies with my son, I assign a little responsibility to him for his contribution to the problem. Remember when Carol O'Connor sued the dealer that sold his son the drugs that ultimately killed him? That's sort of how I look at the ex. [/QUOTE]
