Everyone takes a different path and it can be very tough as a parent watching your child struggling. This post has some great advice and I think your ideas and knowledge can help so many people. If you ever feel like sharing some of that wisdom, I work for a rehabilitation center and we would be happy to hear from you.

He started using drugs again and lost his job, sold all his belongings, right down to his shoes. He was kicked out of his house and his car will be repossessed. He is now here in my home; lying,angry I wont give him money,he is making things chaotic, he gets violent. What do I do? I have tried to get into couseling; he says he will go and doesn't I have tried everything. I dont want him here anymore, how do I say no?kristanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-44565826712888570922012-03-29T18:31:18.929-07:002012-03-29T18:31:18.929-07:00it's been 4 days and i'm still in shock af...it's been 4 days and i'm still in shock after finding out about my sons addiction. i know i wasn't a great parent, but at the same time he did understand right from wrong. i'm scared for him and don't yet know how to begin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-73304617744729999772012-03-26T20:32:46.588-07:002012-03-26T20:32:46.588-07:00Great post, Ron.

I'm happy for those that it works for - the others are not faliures - It is NOT the only way. And you've proved that.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316923297817758218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-55827996188342132512012-03-26T18:54:03.704-07:002012-03-26T18:54:03.704-07:00What a wonderful service you're doing for othe...What a wonderful service you're doing for others by posting this blog.

I had struggled with my teen's addictive behavior<br />for 4 years before finding them.<br />What an eye opener they have been.<br />I had been reading educational info<br />on the web instead.<br /> The blogs have been very helpful. I believe that everyone must find a way to cope that suits<br />them. For my husband, it is playing guitar. For myself, it is<br />writing out my experiences in a private journal and talking to a friend.<br /> Our son too is doing better now. For him, working and living independently have taught him alot. So many different people have reached out to him throughout this. I'll always appreciate their efforts. In his case too, watching what drugs have done to other people may have helped sober him. As well as some negative<br />consequences that he's had to contend with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
