Hi KJ…….addicts have yhe knack to make us parents feel terrible….the lies never end..I’ve heard it all…people going to kill him, he’s going to kill himself, he needs money to pay dealers….ugh, it’s a nightmare …I knew nothing about drugs until my son was in court when he was 17 and it came out he had been unde the influence of cocaine and alcohol….he said it was the first tine and I believed him…he’s 25 on Sunday and we have had years of this bullshit…..he was doing really well,and was in recovery for over a year…he had a great job, great life, then relapsed.that was 2 months ago….today he went back to to his drug counsellor and made an appointment with his doctor….we will see! JS is right…it’s their journey, not ours…we may worry as parents but the addiction is theirs…hard for a parent to hear, because we can’t save them…I support my son only when he’s trying to stay clean……xxxx
