How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

Yesterday was my brother’s wedding and after some crappy episodes with my mother, CPS and family court I thought his happy day was also my day to feel happy again but it didn’t work. I don’t know why but I feel different, angry and frustrated most of the time. I didn’t use to be this way. I wasn’t a super cheerful-corny-unicorns and rainbows type of person but I used to laugh more and feel optimistic about life.

After wasting away in foster care and having a shitty reunion with my drug-addicted mother that ended worse than I envisioned I am finally back with my real family. I spent months and months wishing I was home with my brother, my nephews, my sister in law and my niece and now that I’m back I look like an ungrateful idiot. No one is liking me right now and I dislike myself too.

I want to show gratitude and be nicer. But I’m angry all the time. I’m ashamed. How do I get my personality back into shape? Is this one of those “life-changing” things that is going to screw me for good?
Ian: I don’t work with social services, I’m 14. CPS took me from my family’s home, placed me in foster care and then a judge sent me to live with my birth mother, who had no custody of me until a few months ago. Believe me, I know CPS can’t do anything right.

He’s 11 months old-almost, and she gave birth to a little girl Friday, which she had told us she was going to place with us, however, today, we found out she changed her mind. We live in a small own, and they’ll be attending the same school (along with her other child, age 6 now). In fact, the kids will be in the same grade. How do I explain to him the fact that she didn’t keep him, and she kept his sister? BTW, she hasn’t had a job in over 7 years, my son was born meth addicted, she has no home, no vehicle, and is talking about taking the baby to live in a camper which doesn’t have running water. The bio dad has left her because of it. Also, I’m in the process for a while to become a foster parent, just in case. Also, I’m going to give her the clothes, bassinet, and many things she’ll need, for the baby’s sake.
