We parents of children with special needs have always felt this way, OP.

We are judged and blamed, because of course other parents would never have let it come to this. They would have magically treated the disorder. We have to be lacking in some way. We don't give enough meds, or too many, or not the right ones. We should get this and that therapist and work intensively with them, but also chill out because we're stressing our kid with all this useless expensive work.

Yep. You grow a thick skin.

There is a huge difference in a child with SN where the parent is getting therapies and help, even if its not working and a child who doesn't have SN and is a drug addict and the parents know and are not trying to stop it or get their cild help.[/quote]

Even the best intentions of families of drug addicts,desperate to get their children help, have no power over addiction.  Perhaps you've heard of Al-Anon?  Try a meeting.  We didn't create the addiction.  We can't cure the addiction.  We can't control the addiction.

Your arbitrary distinction between "good" and "bad" parenting of addicted kids has absolutely zero to do with a kid's recovery.[/quote]
