[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 753850, member: 1967"] Hi Albie. I am sorry you are still going through this with your son. It doesn't end until you end it. I am glad that your husband has come around and is on the same page. I think the worst part of all of this is when they throw the blame on us. My daughter used to call me vile names and say I was the problem . . . not her. I used to get drawn into it until I finally learned that I didn't have to listen to it. While it is true that addiction is a family disease and we all have to learn how to cope with the issue, it is not true that the family is to blame. No family is perfect but we certainly aren't the ones sticking needles into their arms. Part of true recovery (for both us and them) is accepting that no one else is to blame and no one else can keep them sober. Stay strong. Kathy [/QUOTE]
