Well I am really curious as to the amount of responses to this forum. Are there any parents out there who want to know more and perhaps be in a support group. I am an addictions worker but when I went through my course there was not enough info to put us on the track of this malicious drug. I now have a granddaughter who is wired and I want some support from people because I care for my grandchildren. One thing that I have always told parents of addicted persons is to send them to the proffesionals and go get help from 'Addiction Services' in your area. There is a ton of info out there to be tapped and I want more of it,. especially on the phsycological aspects of how I might respond to my loved one. How about some feedback, I know that there are grieving parents out there that need to respond. Have a great day.
i am a new member to cmbc. today i had my son arrested and he sits in the local jail. he was "home for the holidays" ... he is a CM user and I am, as i was just told in his call from jail "no longer his mother". i would like to talk to other parents who can advise me and share stories that might make this easier.
