[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 696122, member: 1550"] Its hereditary...genetic. The only way for sme peiple to jot become alcoholics is never to drink. Some people can't drink at all or they become alcoholics, even if the home life was great. Not your fault. It does seem your son is also using other drugs. Take my word for it. Its better not to know his whole story right now...and you may never know. When in the throes, they dont usually tell us the truth. Their drugs are always for a friend. They will always swear to never do it again. They quit all the time, but not really. They squirm out of things. I think squirm is a very apt description. I think weve all heard the same lies. I never stopped talking to my daughter. EVER. But even so, until she quit and then seemed eager to tell me the truth, she didnt tell the truth. I didnt push her to talk about it either. Heard too many lies. Without a car and money her first big step was getting a job where she had to walk up and back in cold Chicago winter weather. She also spent many months friendless because she didn't want to meet drug users in her new state. She finally met her boyfriend. Funny, she never lies now. Drug use doesnt foster honest communication. They look at us with honest clear eyes....and lie. Its interesting and scary. I dont think most of us never talk to our kids unless they disappear. We just learn to withhold material things. We offer the free stuff, like love. Wishing your family luck. It is a long rocky road. [/QUOTE]
