You are doing everything you can to help your son, you should at least have that kind thought in your head each night as you try to sleep. I hope all turns out well.<br />I too was a wild, troubled child who had her parents fooled, and took many senseless risks with my life, thanks to addictive tendencies. I wish my mom had been as vigilant as you. What saved me was the love of a good man, distance from the old crowd and a job that made me feel good about myself. I hope things work themselves out for you and your family.

How we will avoid the "bad group", how we will keep them preoccupied and away from drugs and on a healthy track... and if/when we end up in those shoes, I shall look back on this post for guidance. I want to be reminded that wherever life takes them and whatever choices they make we can't control it but we can guide, love, accept them for them, and never get up.. Your an amazing mom.

My parents believed it, didn't have me tested, and I was free to roam the streets and try every other drug I could get my hands on. I swear I'm going to be a better parent and see right through all the kid bullshit, but I don't have kids yet, I hope I will be better. You just saved him alot of heartache.<br />The scary thing is school is where I got it from, where I smoked it...the bathroom stalls is where I snorted the uppers, and other kids' medication, Its where I took anything I could get my hands on. I hated school. I couldn't focus, couldn't concentrate, I was always in trouble for talking or interrupting...some of my teachers had a desk in the hallway especially for me. I wasn't even allowed in the room. Teachers aren't very understanding, and My needs weren't being met. Now as an adult I am clean and now well balanced, I take my medication for my Adult ADHD and have never felt so normal. <br /><br />I think things will get better though, they will. because you care.

You have just taken all of my fears for when my boy is a teenager and wrapped them up all messy in a fucked up Christmas present (but still so eloquently - I envy your eloquence). My husband WAS Dakota, I WAS Dakota. Now we've had a son, and we're unfortunately freaked out about the teenage years with Xander. My father is a recovering addict too, and he was sober when I was a kid, so I knew the dangers, I knew my tendencies through heredity, I knew it all. Reading this strengthens that tiny dancing blue flame of hope that's living in my chest, though. That even if he does crumble in response to what will inevitably come across his sweet soul, I will fight it. His father will fight it. We will hold his hand and fight the demons together. Fucking warriors, all. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
