[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brother and sister in law found out about 2 months ago their son was addicted to Oxycontin and had started using heroin when he could not afford them. Needless to say this has stunned and devastated our family. This kid is a good student, top athlete in one of the best privates. I am shocked and still reeling from this. They have immediately sent him to a highly recommended treatment facility but before he went they were going to a local dr who was helping them to find the right place. During the course of their visits over 3 or so weeks they "bumped into" three separate families they knew. Needless to say it was very awkward yet strange as it might sound my sister said strangely comforting as she knew she was not along. This has rocked our family more than words than speak, and I know you hear it on the news all the time, but you think never me.

[b]My sister and H both professionals, very successful[/b], kids all go to great schools, form the outside they have it all....yet inside are trying to deal with this nightmare. They have since found out a few others from his school are in treatment for same thing. It is so tragic, not sure he will even be back to school this semester. We are doing what we can to help but having kids only 7 and 8 this feels surreal  yet I see it does not discriminate. I guess I am just here venting, no real reason just to say that this does really seem to be an epidemic and it is frightening seeing it first hand.[/quote]

This is a typical scenario with drug addict kids: parents are too busy making money and building their career. They outsourced most of the staff at home including kids. If at least one parent is not available for child at the time of the transitioning into adulthood, there are too much risk that the child will fall into some bad habits. [/quote]
