Need to talk and share with those my heartaches and hopefull some words
of encouragement and advice....2 Sons youngest(25)at St.Clair and oldest
son(33)just got him out of county jail today both on drugs. I am going to
get the oldest one in a 90 days inpatient rehab program state funding since he is disabled and only has medicare and then into a half way house
that is what was recommended to me by a counsler that drove to jail today to asset him by me calling and getting help. His marrige has fail apart can't get over her and go hand,can't work,draws very little SSI and
SocialSecuirty,lost his dad (June2005),everybody is after him,so he turns
to drinking then drugs once again (done been thru this with him before).
Cost us $1300 to pay bail bondsman to get him out fine was $13000 that
county would only let him out with a bail bondsman,2 more cases hanging over his head all this since Jan. He is home with me no money does he have,vehicle impounded no money to get that out only thing is has a house paid for but doesn't take care of it so I have no choice but to let
him stay with me he doesn't need to be by himself for he will do wrong again so I will wait on him like I did a few months ago. My youngest been on drugs since he was 14 so things right now look good with him,has parole coming up April 4 and hope he wil be home soon. I just hope one day we can be a family and enjoy each other right without having drugs
and drinking involved. Life has been terrible for me since 1989 these problems and then death took parents,2 siblings,father in law,2 brother in laws and almost my husband and I know God doesn't put no more on us
than we can bear,but where does it stop. We have spend so much money
on these boys and I truly feel like that don't care sometime how much they have hurt me. Thanks all and God Bless......mother1952

Hugs to you and all of the mothers that are going though this pain. I'm a mom but my girls are young still. But I have seen the pain in the face of my ex's mom. She did everything she could for him but he decided that drugs were better. Now he is 40 years and in county because he cant pay child support for my girls. She is not having anything to do with him this time. She has been though enough!! I really hope that your sons see the pain that they have caused you and get the help that they need..

A big ****{hug}}} to you. My boyfriend has struggled with drugs for 25 years now and I've been right there through 17 of them. I know too well the heartache. Keep hanging in there and **{hug}} again...

Mother1952,
Big hugs to you. I can feel the pain you are going thru. My ex-husband was on drugs (one of the reasons we split) He got hooked on crack. Our daughter was 3yrs old. He battled his addiction for many years and spent some time in a florida state prison. He cleaned up is act, finally, and remarried to a very sweet girl. He always regreted being on drugs because he didn't get to see our daughter go thru her "cute" years.

Mother1952,
My heart goes out to your, it seems our lifes have been alot alike. My first son age 26, stays with his father, which is a drug attick, my son never calls me except when they are fighting (I guess over drugs). And then there Jason, he been in trouble since he was 13 yrs old, now 23 and just about to get out of his first and I pray only trip to prison. Just remember God only puts what you can handle on your plate, you seem to be a very strong woman, and you will be in my prayers, feel free to pm me anytime you need to vent.
God Bless
Linda
