[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 701376, member: 1550"] I turned my daughter in when we found her doing drugs at home partly because she said her supplier (who she named) was a 35/year old man on parole and she was fifteen and we wanted him stopped. It didn't stop her drug use as far as I know. She smoked pot even on parole back when pot was a bigger deal than it is now, but like Lil I never really knew for sure because not anxious to have to turn her in for a parole violation. I am so blessed that she quit the drugs on her own. If she had not and had had a warrant and ran...I can't say I would have turned her in. I get it. I have recently been shocked into knowing my oldest son broke the law in a very serious way when he was younger...it was a sick crime against a person. I am not sure what to do with my knowledge...it is too late for the cops. But I think much less of him as a person because of this and it will never change as he has no remorse and won't even admit it. I believe we are born many times to learn many lessons and this son has taught me A LOT. In spite of the pain, I have learned to love an imperfect person who is in my life because I believe it was planned that way. And he taught me gratitude for all my blessings. I am a very grateful person for everything I do have and never take the good for granted. Our difficult children do teach us, but the lessons are often hard, like how to detach and take care of ourselves and cherish every rose in our path. And in a weird way, I think this son gave me greater compassion for those who suffer, and I had a lot of compassion anyways...I have a lot of caring for those others in pain, like my son. Now I'm blubbering. Better stop. It is quite the journey for us, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
