He called us threatening to overdose on heroine and we decided to go get him for fear of his imminent death. Now, I look at him and I wonder where is the son I prayed for? Where is the man who needs to be the dad to his own son? I have blamed me!!! The son I know is warm and loving and caring but somewhere in the midst of drug use my son is lost. Lost to the addiction of drugs.

I think there should be an exception to this term when it comes to the mother of an addict.

She carried that baby in her womb. She birthed that baby into the world. She gathered that baby in her arms and loved, fed, and nurtured it. She was there for the first tooth and long nights walking the floors, her baby wrapped up in her arms.

  4. She was the one who celebrated the milestones; turning over, crawling, walking, riding a bike. Home became a home because of that baby. It may have been a home before, but that baby centered everything into what was important in this life. The first heartaches may have been for the child, but the mom felt them too as she quietly closed the door after comforting her baby, and a tear found its way down her cheek.

    And now, we struggle because the terms codependent and enabler are intertwined in intent. We mothers just want our babies to be ok, to be safe, to feel love. I am the biggest baddest mother to my addict son. And that would go against everything that a mother stands for. Thank you for your courage and willingness to share your experiences, thoughts and feelings. Our 17 year old son is an addict and our whole family has suffered for over 2 years.

    A Mother's Greatest Pain

    We have left no stoned unturned to try and provide him with whatever help is available. He has to save himself. So many if your quotes resonate with me and are just what I needed to hear today. I stumbled across some of your quotes with pics on the Internet. Addiction is so uncomfortable she is often left to suffer great pain alone. My son is going to be 38 in a few months. Detach with love, they call it.

    Before then, it was long periods of avoidance, secrecy, swooping back in trying to con, lying, cruelties. All the things addicts do to the ones they love. And THEY were angry at me!! What kind of a mother are you?! When my son was only a little more than 1 year old, he suffered a terrible accident. His hand was burned by boiling water that accidentally spilled on him. The burn was severe. The skin was literally torn away, the flesh of his hand exposed - raw and mercilessly scalded.

    My wife brought our child to the hospital. It was by far the most agonizing minute car ride she has ever experienced. Our son was wailing uncontrollably, in total anguish and pain.

    Try touching a hot kettle for just 3 seconds - the pain is severe. Pour boiling water on the entire hand - the tender hand of a 1-year-old - and you can imagine the world of pain and trauma experienced by our child. My son's pain was severe, but after months of treatment, he is already okay. Nothing but a scar and color discoloration in his hand remains of his ordeal.

    His mother's pain, on the other hand, will stay forever etched in her heart. There is nothing more painful in the world for a mother than to see her own child suffer severely. And yet, despite the sufferings brought about by that ordeal, that experience is nothing compared to what Our Lady went through. Her Son, who had nothing but comforting and loving words for everyone, was subjected to blasphemous curses.

    Her Son, who had nothing but healing hands for the sick and downtrodden, was mercilessly hit by murderous hands that disfigured his face with numerous blows. Her Son's body, whom she bore into this world with the aid of the Holy Spirit, was torn beyond recognition by thousands of brutal scourges - a scourging so brutal that it almost killed Him.

    Her Son was killed. But not killed in an ordinary way. He was killed in the most painful and most humiliating way possible - naked, hanging on a cross, huge nails buried deep into His hands and feet. Her Son - flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood.
