[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 724334, member: 15032"] Sam: My son and husband have had a few altercations in our home; thankfully it was many years ago. However, I'm not proud to say that my husband was the aggressor. It happened because he was so frustrated and angry and son was high and had been high for some time. I can't even let myself go to the way that I felt at the time. I felt like we were in an episode of Jerry Springer or Cops. When you see your loving family torn apart by drug use it is such a helpless and hopeless feeling. There is no answer, no way out and nowhere to turn. I cannot imagine anything worse than being in this situation. I also can identify more with dysfunction than my husband because my mother was an alcoholic so I did see a lot as a child. My husband, on the other hand, had two loving parents that maybe drank one beer his entire childhood that he can remember! Men handle all of this so much differently than us. I remember my son said to me when he was sober "mom, it's just so hard for me". I felt that to my very core. My husband thought it was just an excuse but I knew that he was being sincere at that moment. If this isn't evil at work, then I just don't know what is! [/QUOTE]
