    Okay, so picture this: your child is a drug addict. If you really can't picture you having a child, then pick someone you love. They're addicted to, say, cocaine. Meth, heroin, whatever. The Class A serious ****. Upon your discovery of their addiction, how would you react? Next, as a parent, you surely don't want to see your child wasting away, no? How do you try to help your child? (Assuming you want to help them at all?) Finally, lets say your child ultimately cannot be helped, that their addiction has done too much damage to their body and they are dying, despite the fact they may or may not have realized the error of their ways. What do you do?
     
    I'd grab all their drug stuff and destroy it with fire or whatever. Then I'd lock them in a car and drive them to a hospital or clinic or whatever is appropriate and check them in. I would be very tough love with them about this because you aren't going to get them to change their ways by being nice.

    If they were going to die... I dunno. I would stay with them as long as possible, try to make things as pleasant for them as I could.
     
    SCARFY LAYING DOWN THE LAW! Geeeez I better not get into drugs >____>

    I don't know what I would do to be honest. Cop out answer I know but I just cannot visualise a true reaction. It also depends if they tell me upfront about their addiction or if I stumble across it.
     
    I'd try my best to reason with my kid about the drugs if they get caught doing them. If that doesn't work, I'd try to get rid of the drugs they got and take them to a doctor.
     
    First, Id destroy the drugs and other stuff like that. Id take them to the hospital so they can detox or whatever and then probably try to convince them they need to get help/go to rehab. I'll try to convince them that they must get help for this problem because drugs are horrible and harm/kill people.

    If it were that serious that they were going to die, Id probably be a wreck. Id try to make them as comfortable as possible though.
     
    The reaction: On the surface, I'd be a tough-love parent. I'd tell them it was OK, everything was going to be better, and then proceed to flush the stash down the toilet or something. But inside I'd be thinking what a failure I'd been as a parent, how could I let my brat snort coke or whatever. I'd be an emotional wreck on the inside, but wouldn't show it at all to the kid.

    The treatment: If this brat tries to Amy Winehouse me and NOT go to rehab? Oh, it's on, then! No, my hypothetical spawn is getting his or her ass dragged into rehab whether he or she likes it or not. And none of this 'getting out early for good progress' rubbish; they're staying the course... if only for my security that they've finally got it beat. Hopefully.

    The end product: If all else fails, what else can you do than be with them and let them know how much you love them?
     
    I would ***** slap them out of the addiction and into rehab.

    Drugs like weed I am not bothered about; a lot of my friends have done it at different points in there life, so I don't care about that, but if I saw them taking any harder drugs, I would kick their ass.​
     
    I think my reaction would be extreme anger. Since I'm essentially having a kid I never wanted and had to sacrifice however many years of my life to raise it, only to have it turn out as a drug addict, it would make me feel like I'd wasted what was left of my youth and it would make me angry.

    I think that anger would be the driving force to get that kid to rehab ASAP - because if I'm gonna waste my life raising a child, it sure as hell isn't gonna come out wrong.
     
    I'd definitely get rid of the drugs first and 'interrogate' my child to tell me where the rest of the stash is so I could throw the rest out. Then I'd give them a long talk – or just scream at them, depending on how they react – and proceed to take them to rehab or whatever. I'm not going to let them continue that behavior. But my main goal would be to understand why they'd want to do drugs in the first place, so then there'd be a clearer path to a solution. In any case, the kid made a mistake, and everyone makes mistakes. I can, eventually, come to understand that after I'm sure they won't touch that stuff ever again.

    If they can't be helped, I'd probably be full of regret since I obviously didn't teach the kid right so that they wandered into doing some serious drugs and I'd be thoroughly disappointed. I wouldn't say any of that to them, of course. I'd hold their hand while they're lying in the hospital bed until they die. In their dying moments, I'd apologize since I failed as a parent, but I'll be sure to mention how they're still my kid and I love them anyway.
     
    I'd be like hell yeah and join them lmao!


    naw just playing I'd be pissed, do my best to get them help. drugs are bad m'kay
