Arrgghh, this is the second year in a row that I have discovered logs referencing my son experimenting with drugs. It has really sent me into a tizzy. I have been taking all the appropriate steps to get him help. I know it is up to him, however it makes me feel helpless as a parent at times. I have been having days when I just want to cry. I feel like my meds are just keeping me borderline for my depression. I am taking this one day at a time.

Hi libbyc, thats a tough one, I know that when I was young i did all the things that all the people I wanted to hang out with were doing. Its unfortunate because all those people your want to impress are not even going to be a factor in life when you get older.At least not most of them. But I wish I could give you some advice on how to handle this situation in your life. I just wanted to let tou know that it wasnt going unnoticed. Maybe you have to do like the commercial says and talk to him.

We do a lot of talking. And I've gone to the antidrug page. We have known all his buds since they were all three years old. We have been going to counseling for weeks now. I am holding a tough exterior, meanwhile, my depression/anxiety is Just in control. I am seeking medical help myself.

Thanks for answering... I'm hoping I can look back at this one day with a positive outcome.
