I am like you too, and I know what you mean. In whatever form, I will still trust, even if there is a risk that mny heart gets broken. That is the beauty of life... Be well, my friend...<BR/><BR/>Ceciliaphaseoutgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557429149094936141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258397.post-24993099494493674932007-05-11T08:23:00.000-04:002007-05-11T08:23:00.000-04:00historymike, glad you stopped by, and I agree.

The biggest part of addiction, is self-medication, a way to feel better about yourself, and cope.<BR/><BR/>Dawn, again words of wisdom.<BR/><BR/>Carol, I can find a place, cushioned, for him to fall, but letting him is the challenge. But, your advice is well taken.<BR/><BR/>Enemy, I admire your courage to accept your problem and deal with it. I know enough to realize it is an everyday struggle.

I had my niece, who is also an addict, move in last summer because her mother couldn't deal with it. A lot of the same stuff began to happen, but much we caught in time as I knew about the life. All I can say is that drug addicts are two people: they still can love you and wish you well, but when the urge hits, they will steal and bleed you dry. I was reminded of that with my niece when she began stealing from me. I knew she had no ill will toward me. So I directed myself to the addict in her, not the girl herself. But I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't been one myself. I am really sorry you had to deal with this.Enemy of the Republichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342253341470198835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258397.post-81601086206100860112007-05-10T12:11:00.001-04:002007-05-10T12:11:00.001-04:00ps.

Don't let them take that from you. You are a strong woman and I'm glad you have this place to vent. Maybe you can try and talk your son into counseling or even a group type thing for survivors. you know I wish you peace.dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741158153974994260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258397.post-13936348706909587692007-05-10T10:02:00.000-04:002007-05-10T10:02:00.000-04:00It is heartbreaking to find out that the trust you...It is heartbreaking to find out that the trust you placed in someone has been violated.<BR/><BR/>Addicts live in a world of denial: denial that they have a problem, denial that their actions affect other people, denial that they are - deep down - worthwhile human beings.<BR/><BR/>I hope that your friend can get to the point where he can acknowledge his addiction and begin to repair the damage he has caused to his relationships.<BR/><BR/>BTW - being "too trusting" is a good characteristic; never be ashamed for assuming the best in people. Most of the people in the world deserve your trust, and people like your friend should be seen as aberrations, not the norm.historymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737866671020083030noreply@blogger.com
