Thank you Laurie, Devastated, Learn and Oooops.
I got view points from a RA, families of Addicts, and a non-addict and they all are helpful to me.
Ooops, that was a great warning your father gave you, I think I'm going to use that with my younger kids ( 9 & 10).
Devastated, I am so glad things are going so well for your son now. Your post with your update this evening was so wonderful to read!
And Laurie, it's nice to know that someday I could be thanked for being what I'm sure he sees as cruel and unfair now.
Hugs to you All,
Peace
