Madness

I want my 25yr old son to live a strong healthy happy life.Meth has turned his life upside down.Or is it he himself that has turned his life upside down?Or is it both?I recently wrote about him under "scared mom"..I think about him everyday.Like if he was'nt in prison what would he be doing right now?When I,m driving down the freeway I think he could be driving enjoying his music.When I order take out I wish he was eating and enjoying this good food.But instead he,s caged like an animal. Prison is another world in itself.It really freaks me out to see him there.But I see other moms hugging their sons and talking to them.Most of these young men are drug addicts.I know he has to pay the price.You break the law this many times you do the time.but I am a mom and hurt for him but then there are times I am so mad for the things he has done.Stealing,lying and very hurtful words.But I know this wasnt him.It was that demon that wont let him go........Please just say a little prayer for him when you pray for your loved ones.....
I know your madness and it is overwhelming. I too have a 25 year old. However my daughter is in a cell created by herself. She is still functioning but it is a matter of time so they tell me. It is amazing that these kids that have DARE in there life since 6th grade have gotten this way. My daughter was the one that got everyone in the family to quit smoking and guess who smokes like a chimmney now. I am sorry for your pain, the people who post here know it well! Keep posting. Hugs and prayers to you
Oh my gosh.... reply to MOTHERNEEDSHELP.... I was just looking at pictures and saw a picture of my son who was then about 6 or 7yrs old with the DARE officer.He was in cathlolic school at the time and he was so proud showing his certificate and standing next to this young police officer.I have to remember this drug does not discriminate whatsoever.I feel so sad because there is nothing I can do.I know he has to want a new life.I sometimes wonder why GOD let this happen.Stupid huh???I should know better than to feel like this....Just had to get this off my chest.......
Madness, I am not what you would call a religious person, I have my beliefs but am not a Bible thumper. I have many times in my life said "how could God let this happen" You should know, especially because your son attended a Catholic school(my daughter also attended a Catholic highschool) that God is not doing this. I use to get mad about things that would happen in my life and blame God. I thought I'll show you, I won't say my prayers anymore. What a joke, who was I hurting?
I know your pain and I pray everynight for God to help my daughter. The bottom line that I am learning from everyone is my daughter will not quit until she is ready. Right now she is having nothing to do with me because she swears she is not using and I am nuts. Funny she won't take a drug test to prove me wrong. LIke my friend Valarie says, if she tested negative think how she could use it against me. Funny she doesn't want me to look like a fool.
I will ad you to my prayer list. Hugs and hold on
