What impresses me is that you are always open to new information, willing to be re-educated and to adapt to changing circumstances. I gather you are/will help a great many people as time goes on, especially other parents. Thank you, Tori. You are awesome. Praying for B.

I was told by someone who has spoken to my son years ago what was going to happen if he didn't stop using at that point. I didn't believe him, none of us did. Everything he said would happen did with the exception of a couple of things that I pray do not. <br /><br />Even when my son was in "recovery" I wanted to believe he really was but at that point I knew better, he wasn't in recovery and I knew it was only a matter of time before he used again. I put on a good front but I didn't doubt for one second if he didn't change during the time he was not using he would be back to using. Sadly I was right.<br /><br />Sometimes it takes us POA's a long time to get it because it is simply too painful to face and we would rather walk around with rose colored glasses.<br /><br />I don't always like what you write because I don't want you to be right. I don't want to face what is right in front of me. <br /><br />Does anyone think you are writing this to make friends? I believe you are writing this to help people and if they choose not to listen like I did then they will within a few years wish they would have read with an open mind. <br /><br />Thank you Charlie for not sugar coating addiction.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469486624859667837noreply@blogger.com
