[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 727279, member: 19522"] Hi WW and welcome to our little corner. First of all, I am so sorry for your mother’s illness and passing. It is hard enough to deal with this unfathomable grief and on top of that, deceit on your sons part in “helping” you. I can only guess since you mentioned al anon and that you are posting here that you have been dealing with his addiction. I am sorry for your aching heart.It is a sad fact that our d cs are unpredictable and predatory. I am sorry your family does not understand this. D cs are cunning and manipulative. Cash equals drugs or alcohol which is the main driver of the bus. Of course, you know this. We all do. It is still shocking to have one of our own behave in such a way and leave us with the after effects. We never see it coming. Even after years of dealing with two addicted d cs, I am still appalled by their lack of trustworthiness and irreprehensible, drug driven choices. If you stay with us and post, which is very helpful to work through the shockwaves of this ongoing battle, it would help if you add a signature so that we have a bit of understanding of your story. For me, CD has been a way to connect with other parents who have travelled this road and know the perils and heartache. Posting helps to get it out of my system. I am so sorry for this double grief you are going through. It must have taken a huge leap of faith to have your son “help” you in the first place. It is a slap in the face on top of everything you are already dealing with, then to have your family accuse you of complicity is another blow. Know that you are not alone. Many of us have been through similar outrageous, completely unacceptable, disrespectful behaviors with our d cs. It is not your fault. Do not put blame on yourself. Please be kind to yourself and take time to breathe and strengthen yourself. If you have faith in a higher power, pray. If not take time to meditate. Lean on what you learned from al anon. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. The loss of a parent is a very difficult thing. I wish you peace during this time, and a way to get through the grief and added drama. So sorry for recent happenings in your life, and for your need to be here. Welcome WW. Loving hugs of understanding go out to you. Leafy [/QUOTE]
