[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 695866, member: 19887"] My husband just told me he has zero faith that our son can do university. Not that he isn't smart and capable but that he is still too messed up by his drug use. I think he is right. But at this point we have to let him figure things out himself. I want to have faith in him... It pains me to not have some hope he will be able to have a normal life. My husband told me tonight that he has been struggling himself with depression due to all the stress and that he is trying to just detach from the emotional drain that has been our life the last few years. Even our youngest son, we worry about him too. He doesn't use drugs but he has found school hard his first year, and isn't sure what he wants either. I sometimes wish we didn't have kids.... Is that terrible? We had many many wonderful years with our boys, but the last few have been so miserable and terrifying that I have all but forgotten any joy I found in motherhood. I feel like a shell of a person. [/QUOTE]
