Ellie, this is a tough one, but please don't beat yourself up for not having picked up on it.
I always worried about my boy regarding substance abuse. Dispite my watching for any "signs", one of my sons successfully hid a serious addiction problem for quite awhile. When he finally came to me (thank God) and told me that he wanted to go to treatment, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen it! Later, when he did go to treatment, it all came out the extent he had gone to hide it--wow.
All you can really do is fully engage when this kind of thing comes to light. {{Ellie}}
