I've come to the conclusion that this blog has evolved into something other than what it was originally intended to be.
It began as a place to connect with other parents, to reach out to parents who were "new" at dealing with addiction, and to encourage and be encouraged.
Over time it seems to have lost that focus and is more of a journal of events in the life of my son(s).
I believe that because we are all different and each have a unique relationship and circumstances with our children, that "one size" does not fit all. What works for one family may be harmful to another.
My mistakes have been learning experiences. I know more about heroin addiction than I want to know. I am taking this journey one step, one day at a time and will never lose hope for my son no matter how bleak things look.
I will still read your blogs and if you would like to keep up with me you can find me on Facebook or on my other blog "Writing From the Inside Out".
Peace, Hope and Love, Barbara
