Dear Tryin, You post has just validadted what I have seen since coming here. The parents who are the toughest have kids who make it through. When you raise them one way & they go out on their own and choose another they MUST live with the consequences. When they are forced to do that it is almost miraculous how fast they wake up.
The other way they have their cake & get to eat it too. They have their drugs plus a nice lifestyle that we pay for. No way can we allow it.
Love & Hugh Mom Hugs,
Diane
