[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 694670, member: 15032"] My son's substance abuse hit us like a train. I used to be a smoker (not heavy after kids; more social) and at about age 10 he would cry to me about it and I'd sneak around. I finally stopped because he would just get so upset. I am glad I did though. He was a very determined toddler and I could see him dig his heels in when he didn't get his way. He was a model student and involved in sports and very bright. We did everything together as a family and when his two half brothers were older and doing their own thing, then it was us three and we'd have a great time. He started to show very mild signs of things I wasn't liking in 8th grade. I had NO IDEA it was heading in this direction however and I don't know what I could have done to stop it anyway. When I think of all that I feel like I'm living someone else's life now. [/QUOTE]
