When I first found out (or rather realized) my son was into alcohol and drugs I was really angry at him. I couldnt understand why he was doing this to himself. After all he was an A student, etc etc. He started this at 14. But as time has gone on I understand things up to a point and realize it is a horrible addiction he sometimes can and cant control. I have learnt to accept I cant change his ways, even though I still sometimes feel disappointed, I absolutely love him as his mother and support him. I am very lucky we have a great understanding of one another, he knows my boundaries and I know his, if you know what I mean.
I cant honestly say that I think any parent would accept this with open arms and say
for telling me. Its a shock, I mean, your child, the one you brought up with love, guidance etc etc.
Love is unconditional I think, even when other emotions take over at different times, I think most parents will be there at the end of the day. Just my two cents worth.
