I use to feel such guilt, but not any more. I raised my son to know right from wrong, always championed him in everything he did as a boy, showered him with love and felt such pride. That changed when he started taking drugs. I enabled him due to the guilt, because I thought it was obviously something I had done. Raised him wrong, done something? Well how wrong I was….it took me a while to realise…after putting up with lying, stealing, verbal abuse, anger outbursts….then I got tough….your son is 32, and can take care of himself…give him that responsibility…and stick to your guns. The penny will drop eventually….tough love is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but, something I knew was right. I now have a better relationship with him and he knows the boundaries…good luck and if you can get support for you! Hugs xxx
