I myself finally "broke my silence" and have been addressing my sons addiction issues in my blog (which is mostly about running) called librarygirlontherun.blogspot.com<br /><br />I have been humbled by the love and support that I have gotten from my running friends.<br /><br />We have given our son our final "gift" of help as his Christmas gift. We have paid his rent for one month in a sober living community and will help him with food and I am allowing him to use my old fashioned flip phone for the following week to help him find a job. After this we are done he is 22 years old and I can no longer be a hostage to his addiction. I fear he will begin selling drugs again. Atleast I have taken the stand that he can NEVER again live in my home. My husband and our other son who is 20 years old are exhausted and sick of his addiction. Thanks for listening. BTW I live south of Wichita Kansas. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-77024170810939563442014-12-25T04:36:13.085-08:002014-12-25T04:36:13.085-08:00Donna,

We had holidays and birthdays while our son was in jail. <br /><br />They may sound like empty words but take care of yourself and those other babies. I'll tell you, where there is life there is hope. Sounded like despite your daughter in jail you were surrounded by life and love. With that much life how can there be anything but hope.<br /><br />ps., We learned to think of jail as "Protective Custody" She may be safer there at times than out and using.Dad and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204246139693620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-23429086133442187802014-12-24T23:00:20.703-08:002014-12-24T23:00:20.703-08:00My daughter is in the county jail this evening as ...My daughter is in the county jail this evening as the rest of our family (our 3 other children and our 5 grandchildren,my mother in law, brother in law and my parents)celebrated Christmas tonight. She got picked up yesterday at our house by the police and is now facing a felony. This evil addiction entered our home about 9 or 10 years ago. My husband and I are helping to raise her two children. I was sitting here in the dark and all I know to do is to pray. I feel frozen with sadness. God says he will not give me more than I can bear. Please God...Help me cope. Thanks for allowing me to comment.

Christmas of 2012... he chose not to even join his family, though his dad drove up to see for himself that he was alright. He had actually bought a gift for his dad! <br /><br />He was dead by Christmas of 2013... at 21... lost to his addictions. My heart goes out to all the parents going through this.
