But as has been said, there isn't one. First, there are no perfect parents. Second, there are no perfect kids. Third, there are no perfect formulas.<br /><br />We are each created with a unique blend of personality and environment, and then when you mix us in with all the other "unique blends" of folks out there, not one situation is exactly like another. We can, at best, share what has gone right for us, what has gone wrong, and hope that something we share is of value to someone else traveling in the deserts of life.<br /><br />The only unchanging Source we can count on in this life is God. He alone knows our unique bent, for He created us.<br /><br />Keeping us all before Him in prayer,<br /><br />Cheri and WayneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298890660755610835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-22302869376840630692009-11-05T12:22:38.373-08:002009-11-05T12:22:38.373-08:00Sadly, there are no clear cut answers. There is no...Sadly, there are no clear cut answers. There is no absolute yes, or no. There is no absolute solution. Each child is so different. I had hoped that my son would be like some of the success stories that I am reading about. This gives me hope. To moms like Barbara—I prayed for you, this morning. I understand why you want Keven to come home. <br />You people are amazing, with your insights. I think that, as parents, it’s okay to allow our addict to come home—at least once. After that, it’s case-by-case. I’m putting stronger mortar on my boundaries, so to speak. I can love my son, support my son but not necessarily in my home. He has desecrated the sanctity of it by bringing drugs into it.Debby of Oxycontin and Opiate Addiction: A Mother's Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14881167853310152283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-52068156225944605022009-11-05T10:03:41.739-08:002009-11-05T10:03:41.739-08:00I am not sure why my comment was deleted but I wil...I am not sure why my comment was deleted but I will try again. I agree with Clean & Crazy, I am a recovering addict (except for my food issues). I have been clean for 20 years and I have to say, without the assistance and support of my mother, I am not sure I would be clean right now. I was ready and she was there. My mom never made me leave the house, she had some boundaries but was my enabler. Until I was almost ready, then she stepped in and helped give me that extra push. I did the work, but by golly she was there for me. I think every addiction situation is so individually different but still similar. Each person has to guide their own ship to safety over time, in whatever that looks like for their family. I am happy Ryan has got on that boat to safety and sanity, and most importantly sobriety.The neverending battle of child's opiate addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138779247145438268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-41205410954551569872009-11-05T09:43:01.587-08:002009-11-05T09:43:01.587-08:00you know, you hear so many stories, they are all t...you know, you hear so many stories, they are all the same addiction, but they are different.<br />for some like me and Ryan our parents help, actually helped us. well i guess i cannot really speak for Ryan but for my my mom was my enabler, until i needed to quit, then it helped me.
