[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758218, member: 18958"] Lovemyson, your situation is tragic and heartbreaking. There is no way to understand it from a rational perspective. Your son loved his life and he loved you. There is no way in the world he chose this. The addiction chose this, in a moment of weakness. This is why people who recover from alcoholism and drug addiction go for years and years to AA or NA. They understand that the risk is always there. And they do whatever it takes to guard against those moments of self-deception and vulnerability. Had your child thought seriously about what would be, he would never have put himself into the position of vulnerability. The addiction fooled him into thinking he would be okay. I am so very sorry for your suffering. I don't think that there is a way to understand what happened, that will ease your pain. Because I think what happened was truly senseless. Because your son was not thinking from his real self. He was hijacked by addiction from which he was not free. Maybe that is the answer. I don't think we ever get truly free and safe from an addiction. I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
