Re: Bad Pet. I need you.
Dear Michka, I join the others is offering long distance hugs and hope.
I am also someone who has many years of subtance abuse recovery under my belt. I have worked in that field too. I want to suggest that you not use all your energy "protecting" your son from this new reality. Because it IS reality and part of his recovery is going to be learning how to cope without using drugs. Who knows, perhaps sharing the news will make him feel more driven to stay clean and sober so he can be there for you. Incentive for him. And he is going to find out sooner or later and may wish you had trusted him with the information now. He may prove to be stronger than you think
It is none of my business, of course, and I hope I have not offended you by offering my thoughts on the subject.
Keep the faith.
